{"product_id":"from-africanus-matthew-jordan-storm-9781466479821","title":"From Africanus: The Roman Empire, the Nika Riots and the Approaching Darkness","description":"Fifty years after the Western Roman Empire was toppled by the Goth warlord Odoacer, a new Caesar is crowned in Byzantium. This man, the Emperor Justinian, refuses to accept that Rome's best days have passed. With the help of his extraordinary young General Belisarius, Justinian will attempt the impossible - to expel the barbarians from Rome's Lost Lands and to restore the Empire to its former glory. Join them on their adventure in the LEGEND OF AFRICANUS trilogy. FROM AFRICANUS is a work of historical fiction and the first book in the LEGEND OF AFRICANUS trilogy. The story is set in this \"other\" Rome during the reign of Justinian the Great, the man known as 'the Last Roman'. The story follows Valentinian Constans from boyhood to manhood and from the fishing village of Volerus to Constantinople, just as the Nika Riots explode about him. The Riots started as a street protest and turned into a civil war aimed at removing Justinian from power and ultimately, putting to death once and forever the ancient Roman Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Jordan Storm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466479825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466479821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012","brand":"Matthew Jordan Storm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896708063487,"sku":"9781466479821","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85415136-1b6d-493c-bf2f-96aa67801642.jpg?v=1721372119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-africanus-matthew-jordan-storm-9781466479821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
