James Terminiello

Caligula's Kitchen James Terminiello

He survived the madness of Caligula and the intrigues of Messalina, but can head chef Logos manage the one man who could out-Caligula, Caligula?

Closing the trilogy, we find Logos crossing brains with the terrifyingly unhinged Nero. Witness a duel of wits between a wily imperial food taster and the poisonous empress Agrippina with a wanton eye on the throne. Visit a bizarre multiple god-raising ceremony on the Senate floor. See Caligula and Nero getting along famously until one realizes that the other "bears watching!" Trouble erupts as the prognosticating Pythia "goes dark" and shifts to dire-only predictions. Find Logos a reluctant passenger aboard the Naufrago commanded by a captain with an intermittent relationship with reality. Journey to the fabled Olympic Games - rebranded the "Neronia" - as Nero nabs every prize at hand and a few more he invented.

The trigger of the historic burning of Rome is finally revealed and helps launch Logos and his friends in an unexpected direction.
