The unwitting secret agent of a high government official, Gaius blunders through a peasant insurrection, two civil wars, three stints in jail, and the pursuit of an acrimonious lawsuit against his brother. He's ably assisted by his cynical former slave and by his strong-willed wife, who, fortunately for him, is a human calculator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErik Hildinger\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of several books, including Quirinius, Plan 9 for Murder (with his wife Elizabeth), and Warriors of the Steppe.
