Perfect for fans of action-adventure and historical fictionâ"including novels by such authors as Bernard Cornwell, Steve Berry, Naomi Novik, and Harry Turtledoveâ"this stunning work of alternate history imagines a world in which the Roman Empire has not fallen and the North American continent has just been discovered. In the year 1218 AD, transported by Norse longboats, a Roman legion crosses the great ocean, enters an endless wilderness, and faces a cataclysmic clash of worlds, cultures, and warriors. Ever hungry for land and gold, the Emperor has sent Praetor Gaius Marcellinus and the 33rd Roman Legion into the newly discovered lands of North America. Marcellinus and his men expect easy victory over the native inhabitants, but on the shores of a vast river the Legion clashes with a unique civilization armed with weapons and strategies no Roman has ever imagined. Forced to watch his vaunted force massacred by a surprisingly tenacious enemy, Marcellinus is spared by his captors and kept alive for his military knowledge. As he recovers and learns more about these proud people, he can't help but be drawn into their society, forming an uneasy friendship with the denizens of the city-state of Cahokia. But threatsâ"both Roman and Nativeâ"promise to assail his newfound kin, and Marcellinus will struggle to keep the peace while the rest of the continent surges toward certain conflict.

Alan Smale has a storytellers flair for character, and presents an ensemble cast with a depth of detail of which George R. R. Martin would approve. It works as a novel, as historical speculation, and as cultural extrapolation. But its real value is singular: Its a ripping good yarn, and one that will keep you reading long past your bedtime.Myke Cole, award-winning author of the Shadow Ops seriesJust when it seems there is nothing new in [alternate] history comes this debut.Library Journal (starred review) An intriguingly original alternate history.Kirkus Reviews[Smale] breathes life into the New World civilizations and offers up a compelling view of what might have happened had these two continents collided. . . . I found the New World of 1218 AD fascinating.Historical Novels ReviewAuthoritatively researched, compellingly told, and with pleasing echoes of L. Sprague de Camp, Clash of Eagles is a modern masterpiece of what-if speculation.Stephen Baxter, Philip K. Dick Awardwinning author of The Time ShipsSmale has done remarkable work with the worldbuilding in Clash of Eagles, dropping the sole Roman survivor of a massacre into the complex civilization of the Cahokian Native Americans in the thirteenth century.Harry Turtledove, New York Times bestselling author of How Few RemainMy favorite kind of alternate history: epic, bloody, and hugely imaginative.John Birmingham, author of Without Warning Epic in its sweep, exciting in its narrative, and eyeball-kick sharp in its details.Nancy Kress, Nebula and Hugo Awardwinning author of Beggars in SpainThe first book of Alan Smales trilogy introduces the series with a lightning bolt. Bracketed between two breathtaking and meticulously strategized battles is a sensitive evocation of a lost culture, an act of literary archeology like no other Ive read.James Patrick Kelly, Nebula Awardwinning author of Burn Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
