THE OPERATOR IN ROME

82 BC. Rome bleeds under the iron fist of Sulla’s brutal purges. Reece, an elite ex-SAS operative, is violently dropped into this ancient meat grinder after a quantum transport anomaly glitches out. In a world blinded by gods, omens, and primitive warfare, Reece is the ultimate anomaly—a cold, hyper-pragmatic weapon of the 21st century who bows to no god but science. When he crosses paths with a young, desperate Julius Caesar marked for immediate execution, Reece makes a calculated choice: He won't alter history; he will execute it. Becoming the ghost in the machine of the Roman Republic, Reece uses advanced close-quarters combat (CQC), modern military logistics, and flash-bang technology to manipulate the superstitious masses.
