Rome, 208 BC – The ashes of the Eternal City darken the sky.
Two years after the first contact, peace seems illusory. While Rome tries to heal the wounds of the Punic Wars, the strangers return—this time not as individual observers, but as an overwhelming force. With a firepower that even Jupiter and Mars cannot match, they reduce the forums and temples to rubble and ashes.
Archimedes, scarred by past battles, realizes that logic alone is no longer enough. Together with the remnants of the Roman legions, he must organize the defense while society teeters on the brink of collapse.
Amid smoking ruins and a world that has lost almost everything, Archimedes and Marcellus prepare for a final stand. Have they learned enough from their first encounter to avert the inevitable, or is the end of civilization sealed?
"An original blend of a historical setting in ancient Rome during the Second Punic War with gripping science fiction elements, in which historical figures like Archimedes use their inventions to battle an alien spaceship. This makes it the perfect read for fans of alternate history, sci-fi, alien invasion, and steampunk who enjoy an action-packed mix of power struggles in the Temple of Vesta, philosophical dialogues, and a thirst for technological discovery."
