In the year 1218 AD, transported by Norse longboats, a Roman legion crosses the great ocean, enters an endless wilderness, and faces a cataclysmic clash of warriors, worlds, and gods. Ever hungry for land and gold, the Emperor has sent Praetor Gaius Marcellinus and the 33rd Roman Legion into the newly discovered lands of North America. Marcellinus and his men expect easy victory over the native inhabitants, but on the shores of a vast river the Legion clashes with a unique civilization armed with weapons and strategies no Roman has ever imagined. Forced to watch his vaunted force massacred by a surprisingly tenacious enemy, Marcellinus is spared by his captors and kept alive for his military knowledge. As he recovers and learns more about these proud people, he can't help but be drawn into their society, forming an uneasy friendship with the denizens of the city-state of Cahokia. But threats--both Roman and Native--promise to assail his newfound kin, and Marcellinus will struggle to keep the peace while the rest of the continent surges toward certain conflict"--|cProvided by publisher. 520 "In a world where the Roman Empire never fell, a legion under the command of general Gaius Marcellinus invades the newly-discovered North American continent. But Marcellinus and his troops have woefully underestimated the fighting prowess of the Native American inhabitants. When Gaius is caught behind enemy lines and spared, he must reevaluate his allegiances and find a new place in this strange land" --|cProvided by publisher. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 Smale, Alan|c(Astronomer).|tClash of eagles trilogy|vbk. 1. 650 0 Generals|zRome|vFiction. 650 0 Indians of North America|vFiction. 650 7 Generals.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00939841 650 7 Indians of North America.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00969633 651 0 Rome|xHistory|vFiction. 651 7 Rome (Empire)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204885 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Fantasy fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Alternative histories.|2gsafd 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Alternative histories (Fiction)|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Fantasy fiction.|2lcgft 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aSmale, Alan (Astromer)|tClash of eagles|dNew York : Del Rey, 2015 |z9780804177221|w(DLC) 2014034654|w(OCoLC)881859040 800 1 Smale, Alan|c(Astronomer).|tClash of eagles trilogy ;|vbk. 1. 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0015596305|zFound on Boundless
