For the Eternal Glory of Rome
An Alternate Rome from a former Colonel in the United States Army and a Master of Alternate History GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS! In September of the year 9 A.D. three Roman legions are trapped in the Teutoburg Forest by tens of thousands of rebelling Germanic tribesmen under the Romano-German renegade, Arminius. In an attempt to save what can be saved, an alien starship transports one of those legions, Legio XIIX, to safety. But the aliens are rushed by events and transport the XIIXth not just in space, but through time as well. Dropped four centuries into their future, under the leadership of their first spear centurion, Marcus Caelius and the young but promising junior tribune, Gaius Pompeius, Legio XIIX must fight to survive almost from the first moments of arrival. Moreover, they must march and fight across a continent to find their way home. Because home, the Roman Empire, needs them--their discipline, their tactics, their indomitable fortitude--more desperately than it has ever needed anything . . . because New Years Eve, 406 A.D. is coming, and with it, a horde of barbarians are going to cross the frozen Rhine and, unless stopped cold, destroy the Empire.

Light, Which Impresses
"She was extraordinary," Sarah Delaney says of the young soldadera, a female revolutionary soldier, who stares confidently from a framed black and white photo that hangs in Sarah's home. Sarah, known as a "bit of a recluse," is famed for her photographs of the 1910-1920 Mexican Revolution. At ninety-one, she suddenly reaches out to Kayla Carlson and Abel Castellano of the Oral History Program at The University of Texas at El Paso, inviting them into her home to interview her about her life in the border city of El Paso, Texas, during the Mexican Revolution. Sarah explains, "You and I both have something to gain from reopening the past." Through a series of interviews, Sarah reveals the drama, turmoil, violence, and heartache she experienced in El Paso during the Mexican Revolution. Witness to battle and execution, smuggling and sedition, internment and deportation, racial profiling and race rioting, Sarah shares the events and people--including historical figures such as Generals Francisco "Pancho" Villa and John J. Pershing--that remain woven into the fabric of her memories. Sarah undertakes the interviews in hopes of rewriting "the conclusion of her life." Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, Light, Which Impresses examines the turmoil of that period and its impact on individuals living in the border region.
