The adventure continues.This is the second of a series of four historical fictions. This episode begins with Caesar as an outcast from Rome and beginning his military career as a junior officer on board a ship patrolling the waters of the North African coast. It also follows the early career of his closest friend, Brutus, who finds himself battling in Greece. Some amazing adventures ensue for both of them as they gain fighting experience. Although they both become excellent and well-respected soldiers and officers, Brutus seems to have the edge with the sword and Caesar with the brain.
When they eventually meet again, they have gained enough experience and seniority to lead an army to rescue Rome from the threat of ex-gladiator, Spartacus, who is leading his own army attacking from the north.
