The Books
In EAGER FOR GLORY, Lindsay tells the true story of the heroic life and swashbuckling adventures of Emperor Claudius' father - soldier, builder, explorer, statesman and role model for the Caesars.
Lindsay Powell has investigated the ancient texts, inscriptions and coins, the latest findings from archaeology, as well as astronomy and medical science, to produce, for the first time in 2,000 years, a ground breaking study of this true Roman hero. Aimed at a general, non-academic reader, the book is a clear-eyed account written in a lucid narrative style.
Adrian Murdoch, acclaimed author of Rome's Greatest Defeat and The Last Pagan: Julian the Apsotate, writes in UNRV.com, "Powell gives a solid account of the life and times of Drusus with an enviable lightness of literary touch."
In ALL THINGS UNDER THE SUN, Lindsay applies his researcher's skill for finding unexpected connections and knowledge of the ancient world to take a clear eyed and often witty look at modern times. From natural disasters to elections, travel delays to taxes, Lindsay shows how true is the old adage 'all things under the sun there's nothing new'. Read reviews here from about.com and UNRV.com.
The book is available now in paperback from Amazon and Lulu, and as an ebook in the Kindle format, for NOOK and as an iTunes iBook.
