Publisher's Synopsis
With richly imagined settings and fast-paced action, THE LION'S WAY leads readers on a spellbinding trip through what might have been. Juve, a member of the government's secret police, scents the rot behind the façade of the modern Roman Republic's greatness -- a corruption of the democratic principles that enabled the Republic to survive and thrive for thousands of years. Ruthless politicians oppress the people. Propaganda poisons the public against those who speak out. But Juve, leading a double life, recruits a gang of revolutionaries to bring down the dictatorship. It seems that one sure strike could spark the rebellion that frees Rome. But at the crucial moment, Juve learns a shattering truth, a revelation that destroys everything he loves and believes in. With nothing left to him in the present, Juve escapes to the past in a desperate attempt to change history. He must find the man whose teachings formed the foundation for the Republic's strength and power -- Juve has to save the man some say was the son of God. With a visionary eye fixed on the implications for our own time and place, Marco Marsan and Peter Lloyd deliver an unforgettable novel, examining questions of freedom, love, morality, and truth in the context of a thrilling struggle between might and right.
