Marching With Caesar: Conquest of Gaul
In R. W. Peake's...Marching with Caesar: Conquest of Gaul, readers follow the story of Titus Pullus. Peake, a retired infantry Marine, brings to the familiar story of Caesar's conquest of Gaul the gritty, boots-on-the-ground realism of personal experience, and the results are amazingly compelling.....Peake's exhaustive research shows on every page, but always fascinating, never tedious......the dialogue crackles with realism... Fans of Roman historical fiction--or military fiction just in general--shouldn't miss what looks to be one heck of a series.-The Historical Novel Society"The hinge of history pivoted on the career of Julius Caesar, as Rome's Republic became an Empire, but the muscle to swing that gateway came from soldiers like Titus Pullus. What an amazing story from a student now become the master of historical fiction at its best."~Professor Frank Holt, University of Houston
