“I proudly present you the Greatest Show on Earth,” said Maurice, the swindler, the failed illusionist, the alcoholic, “and the price for a ticket is set to one million British pounds....” “We humans are so unique that it's a wonder that we are not constantly wondering about why we are as we are,” said the guide. Africa, round 1920: Hector Fabry, the great adventurer, is dying from malaria. A strange figure kneels down next to him and puts his hand on his forehead. The next moment Hector is alive and well! The strange man who saved his life is following him now — Hector gives him a name: Okapi. And one has ever seen an odd man like Okapi before. This strange man needs help. He is from another place in time and he is suffering from a deadly disease. Only Hector can help him — he has to travel back in time, to legendary Legio, and come back with the right medicine to save Okapi. And so Hector ends up in Legio, 10.000 years BC, and must try to survive in this crazy civilization...

A new collection of the histories of the Roman Legions. The author begins by narrating all that is known about the legions of Caesars army. He uniquely organizes this using only the accounts in Caesars tales of his wars in Gaul, North Africa and in Appian's accounts of the Civil War. He follows the history of each legion as it is narrated, resisting the all too common impulse to fill in the narrative with the authors or historians supposition of the legions activities. The bulk of the book is concerned with the legions under Caesar and the Imperial Legions I through 22. It then continues with the legions raised from Gallienus, Diocletian, Constantine, and Theodosius. In the appendix section he tries to organize information about other legions raised during the Civil War of Caesar and Octavian, and a unique guide to Roman cities, villages, and forts mentioned in the work.

Die 10. Legion mit Beinamen Fretensis bildete wahrend Jahrhunderten die Hauptkraft der romischen Palastina-Armee. Ihre Garnison war lange in Jerusalem, spater in Elat am Golf von Akaba. Vom Offizierskorps kennen wir heute aus Inschriften und literarischen Belegen 18 Kommandanten (darunter in vespasianischer Zeit den spateren Kaiser Traian), 19 Miltartribunen, 43 Centurionen, etwa doppelt so viele, wie die klassische Legionsgeschichte von Ritterling (1924) aufzahlt. Der Verfasser diskutiert das Quellenmaterial uber jede Person, erwagt seine Heimat und Herkunft und bespricht die Grunde des militarischen Avancements.

Eons before man's appearance on earth, a war waged between the Host of Heaven and the Fallen Angels who followed Satan in his rebellion against God. The Fallen seduced women, and the cataclysmic results were their children known as the Nephilim, a terrible mix of human and angel DNA that can only be described as perverse monstrosities. In the final days before the end of ages, two ancient armies, consisting of both human and angel, emerge from the shadows. Wielding weapons forged in heaven as well as on earth, the final war between good and evil begins. The outcome rests on Vin Angel and Parabellum, a secret and powerful group specializing in counter-terrorism. In Nephilim, Book 1 of the Legio Trilogy, biblical characters come to life, and their stories take on new and applicable meaning. Legends become reality, and the chosen few who are allowed to see beyond the veil between reality and the spiritual realm realize they are the vanguard separating mankind and the very powers of hell.
