"Give Me Back My Legions!"Above are the words Emperor Augustus Caesar kept shouting after the Battle of Teutoburg Forest (A.D. 9). This sentence is also the title of Harry Turtledove’s new fictional account of the battle that changed the history of Germany and as a result, that of the Roman Empire.
Turtledove is famous for best-selling alternative history novels, as in “what if history was changed?” war stories -- with a sci-fi feel. Give Me Back My Legions is one of his best and comes with a tight narrative and fantastic Roman battle scenes. If you're a fan of larger than life fiction with historical twists, you'll be riveted to your arm chair to the very end.
