The Last Roman (The Praetorian Series: Book I)by Edward Crichton is a different approach to World War III as well as time travelling. It follows a highly trained Navy Seal Jacob Hunter as he embarks on a mission to stop a tyrant leader. Everything goes wrong and in the midst of all the chaos Hunter finds himself drawn to a mystical item. Curiosity has always been one of the greatest gifts of mankind as well as one of the worst gifts. Driven by curiosity Hunter touches the object and transports his team and himself back in time to the Roman Empire.  The part that really makes this book stand out is that the team understands the impact they could be having on history and work on doing everything they can not to change history. This objective becomes increasingly harder as they keep encountering people straight from the textbooks. It asks the question of not only will they get back home but will they get back alive?
