Rod developed an interest for ancient Roman history in college. What started as an infatuation quickly developed into a desire to learn more about the Praetorian Guard. This led him to several years of researching articles, books and historical accounts describing the elite military unit, especially during the reigns of Tiberius Caesar and Gaius "Caligula" Caesar. This research helped greatly in lending authenticity to his writing. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army, spent ten years in law enforcement and has a B.A. in Political Science.
"Rod Warren has constructed a historical fiction novel that uses language clear enough for even a casual reader like myself to enjoy. I found myself turning pages so fast that I couldn't remember how long I had even been reading. Now, that's good writing! The characters and historical settings captivated my imagination and took me to places I've never been. A great book for those who want to read an epic adventure with everything that goes into a classic." Steve Anderson-Hollywood, California "I fell in love with the characters, some you loved and some you hated. It was engaging, very visual, and the author painted a perfect picture to make you want to keep reading.You don't have to have any interest in Roman history or battles to love this story. The ending was a surprise. I think this book would appeal to both men and women as well as teenagers. I give it two thumbs up." Pam Onishi-Portland, Oregon "This entire book was most fascinating. I found that it was hard to put down which led me to read the entire book in only a few days. It seems obvious that the author did a great deal of research of this historical period then crafted a fascinating story with historical facts and fictional characters. This story had such components as adventure, loyalty, intrigue, mystery, subversion, action, treachery, murder, revenge, tragedy and a bit of romance to balance it all out. With these items combined this is a very interesting and informative book. My curiosity was piqued to learn more of this period in history. I will definitely recommend this work of art to my friends and those I know who enjoy historical fiction." Julie Ghirdelli-Santaquin, Utah
