About the book: 2012 / What could have prevented the fall of Rome? Only the warriors of Rome itself, but from another time... Doomed to death in the Parthian desert, the army of Crassus is incredibly transported four centuries into the future - to the year 472. Rising to the defense of the dying empire, the legions defeat the barbarians of Ricimer, defeat the Burgundians of Gundobad and enter into a fierce battle with the Visigoths of King Eurych, who are trying to seize the remnants of Roman possessions in Gaul. The Roman intelligence officer Fulcinius, carrying out the incredibly dangerous and complex orders of Crassus, is just a pawn in a chess game board of the great battles of the era, but it is precisely such people who sometimes make history, intertwining their personal fate and the fate of the powers that be in a cunning pattern.
