In an attempt to save what can be saved, an alien starship transports one of those legions, Legio XIIX, to safety. But the aliens are rushed by events and transport the XIIXth not just in space, but through time as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dropped four centuries into their future, under the leadership of their first spear centurion, Marcus Caelius and the young but promising junior tribune, Gaius Pompeius, Legio XIIX must fight to survive almost from the first moments of arrival. Moreover, they must march and fight across a continent to find their way home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Because home, the Roman Empire, needs them--their discipline, their tactics, their indomitable fortitude--more desperately than it has ever needed anything . . . because New Years Eve, 406 A.D. is coming, and with it, a horde of barbarians are going to cross the frozen Rhine and, unless stopped cold, destroy the Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Kratman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668073070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1974, at age seventeen, \u003cb\u003eTom Kratman\u003c\/b\u003e became a political refugee and defector from the PRM (People's Republic of Massachusetts) by virtue of joining the Regular Army. He stayed a Regular Army infantryman most of his adult life, returning to Massachusetts as an unofficial dissident while attending Boston College after his first hitch. Back in the Army, he managed to do just about everything there was to do at one time or another. After the Gulf War, with the bottom dropping completely out of the anti-communist market, Tom decided to become a lawyer. Every now and again, when the frustrations of legal life and having to deal with \u003ci\u003eother \u003c\/i\u003elawyers got to be too much, Tom would rejoin the Army (or a somewhat similar group, say) for fun and frolic in other climes. His family, muttering darkly, put up with this for \u003ci\u003eyears\u003c\/i\u003e. He no longer practices law, instead writing full-time for Baen. His novels for Baen include \u003ci\u003eA State of Disobedience, Caliphate\u003c\/i\u003e, and the series consisting of \u003ci\u003eA Desert Called Peace, Carnifex, The Lotus Eaters, The Amazon Legion, Come and Take Them\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Rods and the Axe\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Pillar of Fire by Night. \u003c\/i\u003eWith John Ringo, he has written the novels \u003ci\u003eWatch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tuloriad \u003c\/i\u003eAlso for Baen, he has written the first three volumes of the modern-day military fiction series Countdown. He's recently co-authored the brilliant The Romanov Reign Series with Kacey Ezell and Justin Watson.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Tom Kratman \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47598556479645,"sku":"9781668073070","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_d0f36425-5978-4729-a962-188b4bbfdd24.jpg?v=1769516042","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/for-the-eternal-glory-of-rome-9781668073070","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
