    Twenty years ago, when the Engineers of the faraway planet Terra created Earth to find a solution to their own problems, they had no idea it would result in disaster of epic proportions. Today, the only solution in existence is to destroy Earth. But there is one remaining issue: Terra and Earth are parallel planets. If one is removed, what will happen to the other? Young Engineers Decimus, Andromeda, and Tachyon, just beginning their careers, find themselves at the heart of this impossible problem. On their quest to solve it, the three make startling discoveries that change the way they look at the Engineering system. Caught in a battle they cannot stop, they must ask themselves the most difficult question of all: How far will they go to save a world that is not their own?

    This is dedicated to a brother from Weymouth. This translation retains the original metre (dactylic hexameter) and is rendered poetically. Written in the second century, various scholars date Satire one's composition at different times: 100 C.E. (J.W. & A.M. Duff, 1968, p.481) Around 100 (Hubert Creekmore, 1963, p.vii) Between 100-110 (Gilbert Highet, 1973, p.561) circa 110-118 (Susanna Morton Braund, 2002, p.16) Between 112-116 Friedländer (quoted in Duff, 1968, p.481) After 115-117 Syme (quoted in Braund, 2002, p.16) Juvenal was the last of the great Roman satirists. Some of his tags are still prevalent today 'bread and circuses' (10.81), 'but who will guard the guards?' (6.347-348) and 'a healthy mind in a healthy body' (10.356). Yet very little is known about Juvenal's life. Scholars glean what they can from his own work in order to get hints at who the poet really was. By his own admission Decimus Junius Juvenalis came from Aquinum (3.318-321) and all thirteen later biographies accord with this being his provenance (Duff, 1968, p.479). Juvenal could have been born between anywhere from between roughly 60-75 C.E. The only evidence we have is tenuous at best, relying upon passages within his Satires (1.25 & 3.26-28) where he was 'middle' aged (which in Roman terms meant about 50-65) when he wrote his first Satires. He may have composed them around the same time as Tacitus wrote the Annals from the similarity in biting tone (Syme, 1984 quoted in Braund, 2002, p.16). Juvenal was still writing in 127 (1.3 & 1.5) after which point Satires 13-16 are thought to have probably been written (Braund, 2002, p.16; Duff, 1968, p.481). We only have one inscription (lost in 1840) which mentions a Juvenal (Creekmore, 1963, p.ix). Not one of Juvenal's contemporaries mentions him except the poet Martial (7.24, 7.91) written in 92 and another (12.18) between 101-102. Martial (1.20.4) would influence Juvenal (5.147) (Duff, 1968, p.420). Max Latham (2018)

    In the heart of the Roman Empire, where blood and iron are as common as the air they breathe, the fate of a kingdom and its people hangs in the balance. Gladiator Elise Story weaves an epic tale of love, power, and revenge against the backdrop of betrayal and political intrigue. Elise Aurelia, the fiercely intelligent and beautiful daughter of the late Emperor Marcus Aurelius and sister to the ruthless Commodus, has been exiled for years to avoid the manipulative clutches of her brother. But upon her return to Rome after her father's death, Elise finds herself thrust into a court now ruled by the mad emperor. With Commodus's obsessive and dangerous fixation on her growing by the day, Elise must navigate a treacherous path of survival within the walls of the palace. Enter Maximus Decimus Meridius, the legendary general who has lost everything-his family, his home, and his name. Maximus and Elise's paths cross again in the most unexpected of places, and the undeniable pull of their past love reignites with a fierce intensity. Torn between loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for Maximus, Elise must decide how far she is willing to go to protect what she holds dear. As Commodus's rule becomes ever more tyrannical, Elise and Maximus's bond strengthens. Together, they join forces with the rebels determined to overthrow the mad emperor, but the price of victory is high. In the battle for Rome's future, Elise will discover her true power-not just as a ruler's daughter, but as a woman determined to rewrite her family's legacy.
