The Procurator series imagines a world where Rome never fell. Instead, the Empire expanded to cover the globe, and by the modern era, Roman culture, law, and military power dominate every continent. Procurator (1984) introduces this world through the eyes of a Roman official navigating political intrigue and frontier conflict.
The New Barbarians (1986) and Cry Republic (1989) continue the story, exploring the tensions within this Roman superstate as rebellions and internal power struggles threaten the empire’s hold. The trilogy blends classical Roman culture with speculative technology to create an alternate present unlike any other in the genre.
