Clash of Empires takes Ben Kane to the wars between Rome and Macedon, a conflict less commonly covered in historical fiction than the Punic Wars or Caesar’s campaigns. The four books, published between 2018 and 2019, follow the military campaigns that brought the Hellenistic kingdoms under Roman control.

The series benefits from Kane’s established approach to military historical fiction: detailed battle sequences, historically grounded characters, and attention to the tactics and logistics that shaped ancient warfare.
