About this ebook
“Is it true?”
With these words, Giulia Livinius Volusenus knows her son’s world has been turned upside down with the revelation that the respected Roman Centurion, Titus Pullus, is his father. Even worse, Giulia knows that Gnaeus’ newfound knowledge means that her former, and recently reunited, lover is dead.
Now everything Gnaeus Volusensus previously thought to be true about himself is to be questioned and revised. He has decisions to make that will affect his future and that of his yet-to-be-born children. There are also new Pullus relatives who bring with them a whole host of challenges, and threats.
Meanwhile, with the mutinies by the Legions on the Rhine and in Pannonia finally quelled, Rome’s new Emperor Tiberius has turned his attention to avenging the slaughter of Publius Quintilius Varus and three Legions under his command by the Cherusci chieftain Arminius. It will prove to be an extremely trying time, not just for the Army of the Rhine, but for the Fourth Cohort of the 1st Germania, especially for Titus Pullus and the young Equestrian Centurion Gnaeus Volusenus.
In this fifteenth installment of the bestselling Marching With Caesar series, the final months of Pullus’ life are explored. What events led up to his death? How did he save Volusensus by sacrificing his own life? Most importantly, will Volusensus be able to carry on the Pullus tradition of leadership in Roman Legions?

I am a 63 year old retired Infantry Marine, born and raised in Texas and currently living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I have been writing since my first novel, written at the age of 10, when my friends and yours truly fought off the Soviet hordes, who just happened to pick my block to launch their invasion. That was their big mistake.But like a lot of dreams, it got sidetracked until recently, when I decided to focus my passion on an era and subject that interested me a great deal. Like my characters in Ancient Rome, I have served as the pointy tip of the spear of our nation's policy, and it is with this perspective that I tell the story of Titus Pullus and his friends.Marching With Caesar-Birth of the 10th Legion was my first published novel, and is the first in a completed series that covers the career of Titus Pullus, his adopted son Gaius Porcinianus Pullus, grandson Titus Porcinianus Pullus, and his great-grandson Gnaeus Volusenianus Pullus. The most recent release is Volume XIX, Marching With Caesar-Catualda the Usurper.I also have a completed alternate history series, Caesar Ascending, that imagines a world in which Gaius Julius Caesar survives the Ides of March, embarks on his historical campaign against Parthian...then keeps going. Originally it's a bid to outstrip the Macedonian King Alexander by reaching the Ganges River, but evolves into a decade-long campaign that finds Caesar and his Legions marching to the end of the known world in the form of the mysterious Islands of Wa, modern-day Japan.Finally, in 2020, I began The Titus Chronicles, with Volume I titled Eagle and Wyvern, which tells the story of a descendant of Titus Pullus, (though he's unaware of any connection), named Titus of Cyssanbyrig, who at the age of fourteen answers the fyrd sounded by the Saxon King Alfred, marching with Alfred and his army to confront the Danish King Guthrum, culminating at the Battle of Edington. Blessed with the same prodigious size and strength as his ancestor, young Titus learns he is the recipient of a darker gift, and in his first battle earns the nickname The Berserker.The Titus Chronicles mark the first of an extended genealogy of the original Titus that will extend across the ages as the story of a line of men who have been born and bred for war, and are witnesses to some of the great historical events of the ages.
