THE STRABO CHRONICLES Book One: Germania

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Cohort… Who was this Cornelius and what circumstances conspired to place him in a backwater province of the Roman Empire at the most crucial moment of recorded history? In the trilogy the Strabo Chronicles author Richard C. Peele has woven a masterful tale of lost battles, imperial intrigue and redeemed souls in the journey of Christianity’s first Gentile convert from pagan darkness to living faith. In the first book of the trilogy Shields Burned With Fire, young Cornelius Strabo finds himself swept along the irresistible current of history as three Roman legions march to disaster in the dark forests of Germania. Only divine intervention in the form of a ghostly night vision he knows only as the Man of Dreams can save him from the holocaust that consumes an entire army and the guilt of a secret murder.
