Pax Machina Trilogy: Book I: The March Scar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247329602)

Rome, 44 BC. Gaius Julius Caesar-Dictator Perpetuo, conqueror of Gaul, master of the known world-walks into the Senate on the Ides of March. He will not walk out.
But he will not leave dead, either.
When Casca fails the first strike and Mark Antony storms in with the guard, Caesar is left suspended between life and death. During months of convalescence, the most powerful man in the world experiences something he has never known: absolute helplessness. And in that silence, he reads. He thinks. He remembers Brutus' gaze among the conspirators. He understands that an empire held up only by the sword dies the moment the sword breaks.
The March Scar is the story of a transformation: from the arrogant general who enters the Senate expecting adulation, to the wounded statesman who learns that immortality lies not in conquests but in institutions. From the Rome of legions to the Rome of ideas.
But ideas have enemies. The Senate feels its power threatened. The generals feel their purpose questioned. The priests see their gods explained. And in the shadows, the conspirators who failed once wait for a second chance.
Caesar has fifteen years to change the world before his body-never fully recovered-finally betrays him. It is not enough time.
It will have to be enough.
