The Judgment of Quintus

The primitive Britannic tribes are about to launch a revolt of unimaginable proportions. Realizing they possess neither the martial nor culinary prowess to conquer Rome, the Britons have concocted a dastardly plan: to build an army of Anglo Squirrels. When released on Rome, the nefarious rodentia will consume the city's grain reserves, causing famine across the nation. Meanwhile, an unknown force has weakened the gods as of late, and Olympus is being swallowed by the Something. With the heavens in shambles, more and more Romans are converting to Calpurnipalianism—a mysterious religion which has recently attracted a slew of celebrity adherents, including the famed gladiator Necantio. After a fateful prophecy, Quintus, assistant publicist to Necantio, finds himself on a journey to save Rome from the brink of ruin. Can he uncover the Calpurnipalian Church's deadly secret, restore power to Olympus, and save Rome from the forces—squirrel and otherwise—that imperil the empire?
