Imagine the greatest personages of the ages, together -- in hell. That's the premise of this series by two very talented sci-fi fantasy writers. A brief excerpt: Whump! The ground shook and reports of the guns on the hills kept up, explosions slamming against the hill in front of them. Save the equipment. Save their shelter. Protect themselves against the chance that some enemy up there had something to answer the tanks: a general in Hell never assumed anything, and lasers and disruptors and tactical nukes were always a possibility. Get themselves and their equipment out of here, and discover why later-that was Julius Caesar's priority. Cleopatra was shouting orders of her own, snatching up equipage and personal belongings and wreckage and shoving them at an orderly while legionaries struck the tent they had been sleeping in. That sudden flattening of the canvas as Julius glanced back showed him the chopper on the field beyond the camp, all aglare with its landing lights and making a target out of itself-till it roared back into the air and beat directly overhead, throwing unwelcome lights on the camp. Achilles was taking a recon or deserting them, it was a tossup which.
