30,000 B.C. Chronicles: Rome

Weaving a storyline that spans from the Paleolithic to Nero's Empire and on to the drought-ravaged, war-torn 2200s, Rome is an epic continuation of the 30,000 B.C. Chronicles book series. Shipwrecked time travelers Dr. Maria Duarte, Cpl. Salvatore Bolzano, Spc. Paul Kaikane and Capt. Juniper Jones have settled into comfortable lives in Italy: fashioning homes, making native friends and crafting creature comforts like wine, prosciutto and cheese. They have free time to recount intriguing memories of home and the future. Despite their contentment, duty forces the scientific explorers to commit to a long postponed voyage to North America. The return of powerful troublemaker Hunter throws a wrench into departure preparations. Besides stirring the pot in the Stone Age, Hunter shares a tantalizing glimpse of Ancient Rome in the months leading up to the Great Fire of 64 A.D. While Rome is part of the 30,000 B.C. Chronicles, readers can enjoy this novel even if they have not read previous books in the series: Bordeaux, Tuscany, Gibraltar and Galway.
