Gods Legions

The year 354 A.D.: Julian, a young scholar in Athens, is the last survivor of a bloody political purge that killed his entire family. Unexpectedly summoned to the court of the Emperor Constantius, he fears the worst-only to find himself bearing the ring of Caesar of the Western Empire. Tested by bloody battle and the scepticism of the Roman legions, Julian proves to be a military genius, crushing the German tribes that have threatened Rome for generations. Soon after, defying his own emperor against overwhelming odds, he risks civil war and ultimately seizes the Empire for himself, becoming the most powerful man in the world while still only thirty. Now the dark side of his ambition emerges. Julian discards the Christianity of his boyhood and sets his sights on the greatest conquest of all-the Persian Empire. In Persia, however, his gods and his sanity desert him, and in one swift stroke, the course of history is altered forever. Ranging from the forbidding forests of ancient Gaul to the sweltering sands of Persia, Gods & Legions is a breathtaking historical re-creation of one of the most dangerous periods-and enduring mysteries-of all time.

In the last days, God has created four warrior angels to fight the demons and destroy the schemes of Satan. They are trained by the elite angels from heaven's battalion in a city called Alvinor, in the second heavens, a realm between heaven and earth where demons also reign. The angels learn combat, angelic weaponry, and are sent on missions to earth and also Reynak, the home of the demon commanders. Arden, God's last warrior angel, must resist every wicked plan and temptation of Satan and pass her test so she can become an elite warrior and ascend to heaven. Satan has come to know of God's warrior angels, and he has taken a great interest in Arden, who he wants for his own kingdom. Follow Arden on her journey in learning about heaven and earth, fighting the demons in the second heavens, and protecting her friends. Follow her adventures to earth where she learns about humanity and why humanity is important to God. Encounter God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit through Arden's experiences as she takes you on a journey of faith, good and evil, and light and darkness. The battle is fierce in these end-times, and God has created them for a special purpose only which they can fulfill. Will Arden stay loyal to heaven, or will she succumb to Satan's temptations?

Bestselling author Harry Turtledove turns his attention to an epic battle that pits three Roman legions against Teutonic barbarians in a thrilling novel of Ancient Rome: Give Me Back My Legions! Publius Quinctilius Varus, a Roman politician, is summoned by the Emperor, Augustus Caesar. Given three legions and sent to the Roman frontier east of the Rhine, his mission is to subdue the barbarous German tribes where others have failed, and bring their land fully under Rome's control. Arminius, a prince of the Cherusci, is playing a deadly game. He serves in the Roman army, gaining Roman citizenship and officer's rank, and learning the arts of war and policy as practiced by the Romans. What he learns is essential for the survival of Germany, for he must unite his people against Rome before they become enslaved by the Empire and lose their way of life forever. An epic battle is brewing, and these two men stand on opposite sides of what will forever be known as The Battle of the Teutoberg Forest—a ferocious, bloody clash that will change the course of history.
