Very interesting premise, but the way the story was told (short stories set in different times with many years separating each one) dragged things down more than a bit. (  ) vamshi | Jul 14, 2009 |  A collection of stories of an alternate history where the Roman Empire never failed. However, none of it is particularly interesting - enough that you really want to know what happens throughout the centuries these stories cover.

(  ) bluetyson | May 27, 2009 | Although this is called a novel, it's actually a collection of stories charting the history of a roman empire that never fell - the point of departure is the destruction of the Jews in their Egyptian exile, therefore no Christianity. Given the vast sweep of history covered in this book, the complete breaks between stories is to be expected. If you are trying to match back dates to our time line, don't forget that dayes here are given in the Roman fashion; from the date of the founding of Rome, so you need to subtract 753 from these dates to get the CE dates. (  ) JohnFair | May 31, 2008 | Devient répétitif, mais l'idée reste rigolote, et puis ça permet de recycler des tas de références de ses années de latin qu'on ne mobilise pas tous les jours. (  )  NaCl | Jan 9, 2008 | Cool concept, but it got tedious for me after the first few chapters. ( ) apfelsingail | Sep 17, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380814889, Mass Market Paperback)No power on Earth can resist the might of Imperial Rome, so it has been and so it ever shall be. Through brute force, terror, and sheer indomitable will, her armies have enslaved a world. From the reign of Maximilianus the Great in A.U.C. 1203 onward through the ages -- into a new era of scientific advancement and astounding technologies -- countless upstarts and enemies arise, only to be ground into the dust beneath the merciless Roman bootheels. But one people who suffer and endure throughout the many centuries of oppressive rule dream of the glorious day that is coming -- when the heavens themselves will be opened to them…and the ships they are preparing in secret will carry them on their "Great Exodus" to the stars.
