A Historical Fiction Series with a Difference

Fascinated by the Eternal City of Rome and the Ancient Romans? Gripped by the acclaimed TV Series “Rome”? then grab the chance to read the exciting and controversial revelations in this astonishing series of five novels by

John Timbers

starting with:

“Caesar’s Tribune”

Published in April ’06

Follow the exciting adventures of the strangest Roman ever to adorn the pages of an historical novel – Caesar’s Tribune – alias Marcus, aka Mike Oakwood. Live with him through the wars in Gaul; sail with him in magnificent liburnian warships, ride with him from Rome to the wilds of legendary Albion and back in this monumental, five volume, project, of which “Caesar’s Tribune” is the firstborn.

Survive with Mike the painful transformation to Marcus in Book One and experience the launch of his new career, as Caesar embarked on  his ten year Odyssey through  Gaul in pursuit of “regime-change”… (no, Bush & Blair were not the first by a long chalk!)

Progress to Book Two:

“Master of Gaul”

Published in October ’06

Continue with his  adventures in Britannia amongst the woad-painted ancient Britons in Book Three:

“Albion Ablaze”

Published in March ’09

Book Four:

“From a View to a Death”

Published in June 2009

takes readers through the climactic struggles for supremacy in Gaul, and Marcus takes a year out on a special mission to modern Iraq in the steps of Caesar’s former colleague and sponsor, Crassus. – an action-packed tale that is often forgotten. Then it’s back to Gaul for the fiercest fighting in the whole campaign, culminating in the great Siege of Alesia and the defeat of Vercingetorix, venerated by the French to this day as one of their great folk heroes.

And finally, Book Five:

“The Road to the Rubicon”

                                                                Published in October 2010

brings readers to the chosen end of the road for Caesar’s Tribune, as the scene is set for the death of the ancient Republic of Rome and its re-birth as the Principate of Imperial Rome under Caesar’s heirs.
