Vengeance of Rome by Michael Moorcock Pdf

Byzantium Endures, the first volume of Michael Moorcock’s legendary Pyat Quartet, appeared in 1981. The Laughter of Carthage (1984) and Jerusalem Commands (1992) followed. Now the quartet is complete. Pyat keeps his appointment with the age’s worst nightmare. Born in Ukraine on the first day of the century, a Jewish antisemite, Pyat careered through three decades like a runaway train. Bisexual, cocaine-loving engineer/inventor/spy, he enthusiastically embraces Fascism. Hero-worshipping Mussolini, he enters the dictator’s circle, enjoys a close friendship with Mussolini’s wife and is sent by the Duce on a secret mission to Munich, becoming intimate with Ernst Röhm, the homosexual stormtrooper leader. His crucial role in the Nazi Party’s struggle for power has him performing perverted sex acts with “Alf,” as the Führer’s friends call him. Pyat’s extraordinary luck leaves him after he witnesses Hitler’s massacre of Röhm and the SA. At last he is swallowed up in Dachau concentration camp. Thirty years later, having survived the Spanish Civil War, he is living in Portobello Road and telling his tale to a writer called Moorcock. This authoritative edition presents this work for the first time in the United States, along with a new introduction by Alan Wall.

The Forgotten Legion by StoryBuddiesPlay Pdf

In the heart of the ancient Black Forest, a disgraced Roman legion fights for its very survival against the barbarian tribes of Germania. Led by Marcus Valerius, a general stripped of his rank after a humiliating defeat, the XVIth Legion embarks on a desperate quest to redeem their honor and pride as soldiers of Rome. But the path that lies before them is one drenched in blood, betrayal, and unspeakable hardship. First ambushed and enslaved by the brutal Svevi tribe, Marcus and his men must endure horrific torments before rising up in a blaze of vengeance. Their fury burns the Svevi village to ashes, but it's only the first obstacle in an endless gauntlet of misery. Seeking shelter with the more advanced Chatti people, the legion is betrayed once more and nearly exterminated in a vicious massacre. Only a handful of survivors, including the indomitable Centurion Flavius, manage to escape into the wilds. As they flee deeper into the primordial Black Forest, every day is a battle for survival against hostile barbarians, the elements, and the defiance of nature itself.

The Forgotten Legion is a visceral, action-packed saga that transports readers into the dark, unrelenting heart of the ancient Germanic forests. Brimming with battle scenes, acts of savagery and heroism, it pays brutal tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Roman legions. A must-read for fans of historical fiction at its most immersive and intense.
