A modern American expeditionary strike group vanishes from a routine exercise — and reappears in the Mediterranean at the edge of the Second Punic War. No satellites. No resupply. No modern nation behind them. Only finite fuel, limited ammunition, fragile medical stores, and ships powerful enough to terrify the ancient world — but not powerful enough to survive carelessness. Commodore Daniel Mercer commands a fleet that should not exist in 218 BCE. Around him are modern warships, Marines, aircraft, drones, engineers, doctors, and enough firepower to shatter any ancient navy. But every ...

Ancient Rome gave rise to the Roman Empire, one of history's greatest civilizations. It flourished for roughly five hundred years and, at its height, made up at least twenty percent of the world's population. It left an indelible mark on the world, shaping politics, laws, philosophy, and architecture, and gave us Roman numerals, the calendar, aqueducts, and concrete.
