Product Description

With richly imagined settings and fast-paced action, The Lion's Way leads readers on a spellbinding trip through what might have been. Juve, a member of the government's secret police, scents the rot behind the façade of the modern Roman Republic's greatness--a corruption of the democratic principles that enabled the Republic to survive and thrive for thousands of years. Ruthless politicians oppress the people. Propaganda poisons the public against those who speak out. But Juve, leading a double life, recruits a gang of revolutionaries to bring down the dictatorship. It seems that one sure strike could spark the rebellion that frees Rome. But at the crucial moment, Juve learns a shattering truth, a revelation that destroys everything he loves and believes in. Juve escapes to the past in a desperate attempt to change history. He must find the man whose teachings formed the foundation for the Republic's strength and power--Juve has to save the man some say was the son of God. With a visionary eye fixed on the the implications for our own time and place, Marco Marsan and Peter Lloyd deliver an unforgettable novel, examining questions of freedom, love, morality, and truth in the context of a thrilling struggle between might and right.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mind Expansion, December 17, 2007
If you enjoy reading to expand your mind rather than give it a break, buy this book.
The Lion's Way represents a new anatomy of thinking.
"What if Rome had never fallen?" is too cliche to coin as the plot of this book. It is not a religious book, nor is it wholly science fiction. It takes a great writer to actually think through all sides of this unchartered landscape while keeping us informed and in wonderment. Equally well written were the characters, which I identified with and liked very much. Through them, I learned about the past, present and even the future. Though their journey is a fantastic one, they are down-to-earth and real, which is what makes the fiction believable.
The pioneering thoughts and what-if possibilities jump off the page and into your mind, and do not take leave. You will be contemplating this book even when it is not in your hand.
The Lion's Way is a great read and breaks the convention of the traditional novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent concept, brilliantly executed, January 19, 2008
I have always been intrigued by the idea of re-historying. But it's a complex job. Several of the rehistories I've read fail because they lack internal consistency. Good efforts, but somehow unsatisfying. The Lion's Way is different. It works! I was completely transported by the story, the characters, and the lessons. The world Marsan and Lloyd have created is palpable. They shed light on what it is to be human and how fragile our elaborate social structures can be under their gritty surfaces.

Read this book. You'll be entertained, challenged, and perhaps enlightened.

4.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down, February 21, 2008
and that's not just because I spilled crazy glue on my hand while reading it. The Lion's Way tackles big issues in a thought-provoking, entertaining way. While this fast paced novel is set in both the past and future, its message resonates in the present. In today's dark political climate, the principles of Empathia would be a welcome ray of sunshine. I hope the authors are planning another work of art.
