Publisher's Synopsis
Athelstan's World A simple decision can change the course of one's life. Sometimes that same decision can change the course of history. When Athelstan, a 3rd century BC Celtic soldier makes his decision and turns aside from his appointed quest, to save a grubby young sneak thief from justice, he accidentally sets in motion a series of events that rock the very fabric of the civilized world. He enters into a game he does not understand, one that has no rules, and one that is quite impossible for him to win. His naive meddling upsets the status quo and captures the attention of a powerful and ruthless tyrant. This shadow organization turns its full attention towards the destruction of Athelstan and his strange female companion. This girl holds the key to an incredible mystery, which stretches from northern Italia to Greece, Rome, Jeru-Salam, and the shattered remnants of Alexander's Macedonia. Can he keep his head long enough to discover her true identity in time to save his world and hers from destruction?
