CLAUDIUS ROMAN: a Journey to the stars

Title: Claudius Roman: A Journey to the Stars Synopsis: In the sprawling depths of Neoterra’s Lower City, the largest colony on the Moon, eighteen-year-old Claudius Roman grapples with the weight of his ambitions. Living in a cramped workshop, he repairs drones and air filtration systems to support his ailing mother, all while dreaming of attending the prestigious Imperial Military Academy on Mars. But when he receives an acceptance notification for the entrance exam—set to take place on Phobos—Claudius faces a daunting challenge: he lacks the funds to make the journey. Desperate for a way out, Claudius strikes a dangerous deal with Tobias Draven, a shady figure in Neoterra’s underground. Draven offers him a ride to Phobos in exchange for delivering a mysterious package. Though wary of the risks, Claudius recognizes that this is his only chance to reach for the stars. As he navigates the treacherous world of interstellar politics and crime, Claudius forges unlikely alliances, including a bond with Riker, a troubled ex-pirate seeking redemption. Together, they face the challenges of their pasts and the harsh realities of the present, all while preparing for the daunting exam that could determine Claudius’s future. When the crew of the Eclipse—the ship that will take them to Phobos—encounters pirates threatening a nearby mining colony, Claudius must confront the moral implications of his choices. With the lives of innocents hanging in the balance, he is forced to redefine what it means to be a leader and what kind of man he wants to become. Claudius Roman: Rising from the Shadows is a gripping tale of ambition, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of dreams against all odds. As Claudius strives to carve his place in a galaxy filled with darkness, he discovers that true strength lies not just in power but in the bonds of friendship and the courage to stand up for what is right.

Gods' Gaze

Every civilization in embryo aspires to be Rome while the one on deathbed laments it. Inspired by Rome, Gods’ Gaze is an epic historical fantasy of multiple POVs relying on authentic stratagems of twists and turns. No one gets to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo out of trouble. "All warfare is based on deception, like the theater." Evoking his late father’s words, Cato Duilius Claudius assumes the alias, Moon Xeator, and he vows to have his vengeance. In the upcoming years, he plots to restore the dual consulship, his father’s legacy, by bringing down the Praetor Magnum and the Triumvirate that slaughtered his family when he was a child. Aware that nothing would crush a man as much as the chink in his own armor, he sows suspicions among his foes and lures them into overreaching. He games the power structure in which all participants are corruptible. Those he keeps around, he taps into their fears, hates, and wants as grist for his mill. He turns his friends into pawns, as does his life a board of chess. But the game he plays cuts both ways. His vengeance also brings home the bitterest misery, which is to know so much and still have control over so little. And there is no return for him now. He can’t look back as there is nothing behind; nor does he dare look forward, knowing the road ahead. All he has is the time at hand, and it all slips through him into ruins like quicksand. When he trades in what he holds dear only to arrive at his destination, what will he find there when nothing can ease the pain of his losses? Fleshed out by his flaws, Xeator never meant to choose good over evil. His journey rings true that every important idea is only valid as in a paradox with an opposing idea, and the power to rise obliterates, too.

BOOK YOUR ULTIMATE HOLIDAY!

historical novel, a novel that has as its setting a period of history and that attempts to convey the spirit, manners, and social conditions of a past age with realistic detail and fidelity (which is in some cases only apparent fidelity) to historical fact. The work may deal with actual historical personages, as does Robert Graves’s I, Claudius (1934), or it may contain a mixture of fictional and historical characters. It may focus on a single historic event, as does Franz Werfel’s Forty Days of Musa Dagh (1934), which dramatizes the defense of an Armenian stronghold. More often it attempts to portray a broader view of a past society in which great events are reflected by their impact on the private lives of fictional individuals. Since the appearance of the first historical novel, Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley (1814), this type of fiction has remained popular. Though some historical novels, such as Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace (1865–69), are of the highest artistic quality, many of them are written to mediocre standards. One type of historical novel is the purely escapist costume romance, which, making no pretense to historicity, uses a setting in the past to lend credence to improbable characters and adventures.
