Centurions were the guardians of Rome. At the height of the Roman Republic there were over five thousand qualified Roman Centurions in the Legions. To be a Centurion required that, in a mostly illiterate society, one be able to read and write clearly, to be able to convey and create orders, to be capable of not only performing every skill of a Roman soldier but teach every skill of a Roman soldier.
Becoming a Centurion required intense physical ability, courage beyond the norm, years of sacrifice and a total devotion to the philosophy which was Rome. When Rome fell to barbarian invaders, there were less than five hundred qualified Centurions. Not because Rome had fewer people but because it had fewer willing to make the sacrifices. And the last Centurions left their shields in the heather and took a barbarian bride . . .
We are . . . The Last Centurions.
And this Rome SHALL NOT FALL!

Product ReviewRingo shows yet another dimension to his writing! Caution! If you are a liberal, you probably DONT want to read this. If you simply like Ringo and his other writing you are sure to enjoy this. Reminded me a bit of S.M. Sterling's "Dies the Fire" series.

Product ReviewWhile some (many) will be turned off by style, or basic far-from-liberal tone, I say this is a great story. Also, distressingly prophetic - see FEMA and Health and Human Services Websites about Avian Flu and Pandemic Planning - then ask your local (town, city, county) planners if they've taken it seriously. I know (it's part of my job) that they haven't, and it could go this way. Be prepared. Read it three times and get ideas from the little factoids; this is great!!
