Caesar Fights for the Republic. History Changes Forever. Caesar is the praetorian governor of Further Spain when war breaks out against a rebel with a familiar name: Quintus Sertorius. The late Roman rebel left a half-Iberian son behind, and now he's determined to win freedom for his people. But there's one problem: Gaius Julius Caesar is in his way. Now Caesar finds himself on the side of the Republic, with Pompey the Great as the threat looming in the shadows. But without the political influence he'll gain later in life - or the great fortune gained from a conquest of Gaul that may now never happen - Caesar is in need of political allies. Can he swallow his pride and ally with the conservatives who dominate the Roman Senate, or must he fight enemies on all fronts? Was Caesar by nature a rebel, destined to rule Rome? Or will history change when Caesar fights for the Republic, with Pompey as the enemy at the gates? For fans of Colleen McCullough and Harry Turtledove, Caesar's Command is a thrilling tale of military and political battles in a world that might have been. Previously published on Kindle Vella. R.G. Roberts is a multi-genre author, and has published military thrillers, science fiction, epic fantasy, and alternate history. ​ ​In real life, she has experience fencing (with swords) and horseback riding (mainly hunter/jumper), which combines with her history degree to make an excellent fantasy writer pedigree. Her love of Siberian Huskies (and the two currently shedding in her house) are the inspiration for wolves in the World of the Legacy. ​ ​ For military battles and thriller inspiration, she draws on her experience as a veteran of the U.S. Navy. While an officer in the Navy, R.G. Roberts served on three ships, taught at the Surface Warfare Officer's School, and graduated from the U.S. Naval War College with a masters degree in Strategic Studies & National Security, with a concentration in leadership. ​ ​ Nowadays, she lives in Connecticut and works as a Manufacturing Manager for a major medical device manufacturer. Filling so many leadership roles has given her a lifelong fascination with good and bad leaders, which is why you see examples of both in her writing. If there's one common theme in all of her books, regardless of genre, you'll find leadership at the core. Good leaders forced to make hard choices form excellent story backbones.
