As civil war between Caesar and Pompey looms, lesser demagogues wage gang war in the streets of Rome. When the rabble-rouser Clodius is killed on the Appian Way, Rome erupts in flames.

The King of Vinland's Saga by Stuart W. Mirsky
Xlibris

The King of Vinland's Saga by Stuart W. Mirsky An eleventh century adventure, this book conjures up the saga world of the Vikings in the North Atlantic, circa 1050 AD. Seeking his rightful inheritance, Greenlander Sigtrygg Thorgilsson must try the crossing to the west which his grandfather, Leif Eiriksson, and only a few others before him, had successfully made. What awaits Sigtrygg and his small crew of ne'er do well sailors is a world quite beyond any they have known, a world of skin-clad, stone-wielding "others" who are just as astonished and unsettled by the appearance of the Norsemen. It's a world of exotic savagery-- and yet a place where rootless folk can make homes for themselves, if they can also learn to find common ground with those who have gone before. Yet even this option is jeopardized by the Norsemens' own penchant for violence and blood feud, both with others and among themselves.
