First Spear: Pro Denuo presents the saga of Roman Centurion Gaius Crastinus vividly to life. Up close and personal, this often-dark look into the Legions of Rome is seen through the eyes of a brave soldier and man of honor. Gaius “Killer” Crastinus and his fellow veterans, Vorenus, Pullo and Bacculus, have won honor and glory in the service of the SPQR. Now these comrades must introduce a new consignment of recruits to life in the Roman Army. One of them is Gaius’ younger brother Marcus. But training for the young soldiers is cut far too short, for war brews in Lusitania. With only three weeks of training, the newly constituted X Legion is ordered north. Their order is to stop Lusitanii incursions into the province of Hispanica forever. Marcus and his fellow recruits follow Gaius in a desperate fight to safeguard their homeland. If they survive, even larger troubles loom to the east. Mob violence in Rome and a quarter-million Helvetian tribesmen are invading provinces in southern Gaul. When Marcus is the one chosen to enter enemy territory on a secret mission, only the “soldier’s god” Mithras knows if he will succeed. This well-researched novel is the sequel to the author’s first book First Spear: Rudimenta (Xlibris 2009).
Newly recruited Eighth Legion tiros must embrace the life;' a world of brutal training, merciless discipline and of pitiless Centurios. If young Gaius Crastinus and his comrades hope to survive ambush and death securing trade routes of the Province from Lusitanii hoards routinely crossing the border to raid and pillage; they must first endure their apprenticeship, the Rudimentum Militare. When disgruntled Senator Catiline arms a desperate army of ruthless, landless veterans and escaped slaves to terrorize Rome, the Eighth must act. Can these untried and outnumbered Legios survive hundreds of miles of grueling desert, deadly midwinter seas while mutinous internal factions threaten the Legion from within still emerge victorious?
