The Eyes of Caesar Robert Edward

Five hundred years ago, the Roman Empire ordered a disgraced Roman Soldier to sail westward from Europe. He discovered a wild, bountiful land and claimed it for the Empire as "Atlantica."Now, the Empire stands poised to celebrate its twenty-fifth century as the greatest civilization the world has ever seen. Steam-powered iron horses race across continents, and the firearms of the Roman Legion keep their enemies at bay. But from the other side of the ocean, the difficulties in governing Atlantica threaten to upend the careful balance of the Empire. Caesar himself personally sends war hero Tiberius Rabanus to Atlantica as his eyes and ears. Caesar charges him to find a way to keep Atlantica in its place and maintain the peace. But Tiberius finds a continent in turmoil. Even after five hundred years, the Romans still cannot tame this continent. The people of Atlantica have grown tired of living under the rule of an unseen emperor. Many believe that the time has come to finally free themselves from Roman rule. At the edge of the Empire, where the greatest constant is change and the strongest law is violence, Tiberius doubts whether he can possibly succeed in his mission--or even survive it.
