Gods of Rome
by Thomas Greanias
Description
"Skillful. Exciting. Believable. Recommended!" - Kirkus
DEATH IS GUARANTEED
A wildly popular playwright in Ancient Rome, falsely condemned by jealous rivals, miraculously escapes certain death in the arena with a state secret that could bring down the empire and avenge the life and love he lost.
Hold on tight to the reins of your runaway chariot as Gods of Rome sweeps you from the halls of power in Caesar’s palace to the slums of the city, from rat-infested sewers to the high seas, from one end of a mighty empire to another and everywhere in between, where countless assassins lurk, throat-grabbing surprises await, and “death is guaranteed.” Always.
From Thomas Greanias, New York Times bestselling author of Raising Atlantis, The Atlantis Prophecy and The Atlantis Revelation, comes a meticulously researched and masterfully crafted conspiracy thriller of epic scale inspired by real people and events.

Reviews
"Gods of Rome is an intelligent, fast-moving historical novel with nonstop action, narrow escapes, and violent encounters, as well as much food for thought. The ancient world comes alive in well-chosen details, from the mundane to the arcana of spycraft, codes, and disguises. Greasias' characterization is vivid even for minor figures and especially so for Athanasius, who goes through a believable struggle and transformation over the tale's course. Greanias smartly illuminates the religious, philosophical, historical, and even economic issues that underpin the story, while never letting the pace lag. Recommended!"
-- Kirkus
"If you love all things Ancient Rome, and are simultaneously drawn to the historical account of the birth of Christianity, Gods of Rome by Thomas Greanias is for you. The reader is brought into this dangerous time period of double dealing, political machinations, and the rise of an outcast Church. Filled with meticulously researched historical information, this book allows you to experience the tumult and excitement that was Rome during the time of the Flavians."
-- Elise Butowsky, NetGalley Review
"Five stars. The assassination of the emperor's chief astrology sets off revelations of a secret order known as the 'Rule of God.' Caesar begins a campaign of killing off all his enemies and those perceived as enemies. One of these men is the playwright Athanasius. Thomas Greanias gives us a well-researched, compelling novel set in the early years of the spread of Christianity and the rise of its church. It involves events based on actual happenings that occurred while some of the key figures involved in the spread of the religion are still alive."
-- Paul Lane, Librarian, Palm Beach County Library
