DOWNLOAD EBOOKGladiator, first published in 1930, tells the story of Hugo Danner, who is given superhuman speed, endurance, strength, and intelligence by his father as an experiment in creating a better human. We follow Hugo throughout his life viewed from his perspective, from childhood, when Hugo first discovers he’s different from others, to adulthood, as Hugo tries to find a positive outlet for his abilities around the time of the first World War. Gladiator has been made into a 1938 comedy movie, and is thought to be the inspiration for the Superman comic books—though this has not been confirmed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlan Baker weaves an extraordinary, vivid picture of Roman life as his compelling and evocative history tells the story of Rome's most notable gladiators. They were condemned and feared by emperors, slaughtered and adored by the masses and worshipped by their female fans, yet their lives were invariably violently short. Whether their enemy was a starved tiger or a battle-hardened criminal, their numbered days were dark and bloody. Yet men gave up their wealth and freedom to become gladiators and noble-women gave up their positions to be with them. The Gladiator illuminates the extraordinary lives of Spartacus, Commodus, Eppia and others - bringing the same energy and passion to the page that Ridley Scott's cinematic triumph bough to the screen.

When Fallon was just a child, Sorcha was killed by the armies of Julius Caesar. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, Fallon is excited to follow in her sister's footsteps and earn her place in her father's war band. She never gets the chance. Fallon is captured and sold to an elite training school for female gladiators—owned by none other than Julius Caesar himself. In a cruel twist of fate, the man who destroyed Fallon’s family might be her only hope of survival.

Maas and Cinda Williams Chima, The Valiant recounts Fallon’s gripping journey from fierce Celtic princess to legendary gladiator and darling of the Roman empire.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A champion gladiator doesn't feel love. How could he? His only passion is to win the next fight. Then the one after. And again." Cassian I'm trained to kill for the amusement of others. Slave. Fighter. Beast. Emotions are a weakness so I have none, except anger and hate. Anything else is a distraction that could get me killed. Still, I can't refuse the order when my owner's wife secretly summons me to her chambers, time and time again. She's poison, feeding off my rage for her own sick pleasures. I hate her, so how does she keep finding the cracks and opening them up, working her way into my heart? There's only one way this relationship can go, and that's down. When we are apart we're broken, but together? We will crash and burn. Livia I'm Domina of the Atticus ludus where we train gladiators to compete for victory. Wealthy. Attractive. Powerful husband. It appears I have it all. I wish I could make myself feel that way but I'm numb, too damaged to care for anything. The only time I feel alive is when I'm with my husband's champion gladiator. He might be my slave, but there's no taming the savage lust inside him. And I love nothing more than poking that darkness until he unleashes it upon me. My whole life I've been taught one thing - break them down. So how is it possible that a gladiator could be the one to break the ice around my heart? It's disgusting for a woman of my rank to sleep with a man like him. His touch should feel repulsive, his gaze upon me should make my skin crawl. But he's mine. And I want more. Author's Note: DARK romance - insert all the content warnings here!! This little read contains blood and action, and steamy scenes between characters battling with dominance issues. Expect a lot of heat and darkness, because romance isn't always sweet. 2nd Edition June 19 - previously published as Breaking the Gladiator. The Captive Collection A collection of dark and steamy reads spanning different genres. Each is a complete standalone, but they do have one thing in common - they're centered around a dark and angsty enemies-to-lovers / forbidden romance captive situation, and, most importantly, they all contain an alpha bad boy or anti-hero who always gets his woman.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Gladiators, an exciting account of the ancient Roman institution of arena combat, traces the bloody 800-year history of the bustuarii from their rise during the third century B.C. to their eventual abolition at the end of the fifth century A.D. The popularity of gladiatorial combat dramatizes the paradox of Roman civilization: poets, philosophers, and politicians glorifying this brutal and savage institution in a culture remarkable for its contributions to government, law, literature, philosophy, and art--a culture that was a cornerstone of Western civilization. Although no amount of explanation can mitigate the savagery, in some ways good things came out of this almost-supreme evil. It brought forth countless acts if individual courage, it created one of the world's greatest architectural forms, and it inspired a number of thoughtful men to write down violent protests that stood firm against this overwhelming tide of brutality. Illustrations of mosaics, statuettes, reliefs, and the remains of arenas and amphitheaters illuminate the text."--Provided by publisher
