Locked into his new life, Mike Oakwood/Marcus Rutilius IS Caesar's Tribune, fighting on against the Belgae and Armorican tribes of Gaul
Master of Gaul is the 2nd of 5 novels that bring alive a new and different interpretation of Caesar’s Commentaries on his Gallic Wars. These are the ‘Rutilius journals’, written by Marcus’s 21st century alter ego, Mike Oakwood, (read Caesar’s Tribune for the full story of this strange transition) in order to keep in touch with his real persona. This section of his journals covers the period 57-56 BC, when Caesar became virtually the Master of Gaul. Follow Marcus/Mike’s progress in Caesar’s footsteps as he fights his way across Gaul. Live through his emotional struggles to satisfy the curiosity of his (Marcus’s) twin sister; see how his relationship with the beautiful Sylvia – the young Greek girl who understands his link to the future – develops; watch as his close relationship with Quintus, now his brother-in-law, reaches a crisis point; look out for that glimpse of what lies in Caesar’s future across the seas of northern Gaul.
