OverviewDuring the time of Nero a young Roman is mistaken for a Christian and condemned to the galleys. Soon he finds himself a slave aboard the new super secret warship, The Antonia. Surrounded by misfits, inventors and fighters he leads a slave rebellion and takes over as captain. But he soon learns that Antonia is part of a pet project of the Emperor: to build a new Empire of Nero! Armed with new weapons and the fastest ship in the world, he and his fellow slaves are now able to sail to freedom. But first, they have unfinished business with Rome! A historic novel like no other, The Galley is a wild roller coaster ride through an ancient world of excitement and adventure on the high seas where anything can happen and often does. As our hero's travels take him from the Great Fire of Rome to one of the strangest battles ever fought, he finds romance and intrigue awaiting him at every turn.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationI am an author, screenwriter and film maker, my screen credits include the cult classic Night Terror (1990) and the soon to be released Hunt For the Desert Apeman in collaboration with M.L. Behrman. I published my first novel: The Galley (2012) and its' short story extract: The Unthinkable (The Great Fire of Rome) (2012). My newest books are Timelines: The Beethoven Incident (2013) and the first installment of The Palindrome Chronicles : the short story We Were Here!(2013) In October, 2013 my newest book, Phoenix Part One: Spooks was published. After spending my early years in the Midwest, I migrated to Southern California where I received most of my education. There is an old saying: You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the boy. I think that's true in my case. Although I've lived in L.A. most of my life, the simple ways of Southern Illinois are still close to my heart. I love the opportunities to get away to the quiet of the deserts and countryside. It helps me think. My joys in life are playing the guitar and spending time with my grandchildren, (as well as writing!). Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
