His first novel, "Africanus: Son of the Consul", was published in 2006 and formed the first part of his trilogy on Scipio Africanus, the Roman general who defeated Hannibal in the Battle of Zama. The second part, "The Accursed Legions", was published in 2008, and by 2013 had reached its ninth edition. The final part, "The Betrayal of Rome", came out in 2009. The same year he revised the three novels, now bestsellers.
