Book Synopsis

Iron Shaft goes to Rome, and that city will never be the same again. Julius Caesar needs his help. Enemies are gathering their forces and intend to elect a Consul who will charge Caesar with treason and drag him out of the protection of his Gaulish legions and back to Rome to stand trial. So, Caesar turns to Iron Shaft, sends him to Rome along with vast quantities of gold, his dangerous Ubii cavalry, and a plan to bribe the Consuls and voters. But it is never that simple. Iron Shaft is quickly sucked into the plots and plans of the other two powerful members of the triumvirate, Crassus and Pompey, which put him in great danger. So he leaves for Egypt, meets Cleopatra before she loses her virginity and saves her life. Naturally, he gets his reward. Back in Rome Pompey is becoming more powerful and a looming danger to Caesar, so he must be stopped. His wife, Caesar’s daughter, is pregnant and the future of Rome depends on the birth of a son. Iron Shaft learns a deadly secret and hurriedly escapes back to the safety of a legion. Should he tell Caesar the deadly secret and plunge the world into Civil War? He is not called Iron Shaft for nothing!
