In the third book of the critically acclaimed Marching With Caesar series, Titus Pullus and his friends in the 10th Legion are called on to serve as the agents of change as their general, Gaius Julius Caesar singlehandedly changes the Roman Republic to Empire. From Spain and the dusty plains of Pharsalus, to the streets of Rome itself, Titus must survive the battlefield and navigate the treacherous world of Roman politics as he rises through the ranks. Helping Titus are his surviving tentmates, including his best friend Vibius Domitius, but like the rest of the Republic, their friendship is tested by the strife and fratricide that comes with civil war. At the same time, Titus has to deal with the challenges that have confronted career military members throughout the ages as he tries to balance the demands and heartache created by the long absences from his young family. Nevertheless, through it all Titus and the men of the 10th Legion continue Marching With Caesar.

Caesar Ascending-Conquest of Parthia, is the second volume of the alternate history series in which Caesar survives the assassination attempt in March of 44 BC and carries out his planned invasion of Parthia. After a successful first year's campaign, where Caesar and his army capture the cities of Ctesiphon and Seleucia, Caesar is now determined to face and defeat the young Parthian king Phraates, who is just as intent on avoiding battle with the Roman general. For Titus Pullus, the giant Primus Pilus of the 10th Legion, and his comrades, matters are further complicated by the presence of a force called the Crassoi, the Roman survivors of the ill-fated campaign led by Marcus Crassus, who are now fighting for Parthia. What neither Caesar, nor any Roman, has any way of knowing is whether their former countrymen still hold any loyalty to Rome, or if the decade they have spent under Parthian control has been enough to switch their allegiance to their captors. All will be decided outside the walls of Susa, when Caesar and his army must not only once more face the feared Parthian cavalry, but fellow Romans.
