Moments in Time - J A Gordon

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six -- you're going deeper and deeper -- five, four, three -- your breath is getting deeper and deeper." In a candlelit room a hypnosis session opens a door to a past life and the reader is propelled into a long lost world -- to the edge of Nero's Empire, when life was cheap, conditions were harsh and powerful people were often corrupt, vicious and carelessly cruel. But some men revered the principles of Rome's founding fathers and sought to uphold a more honourable code. Through the opening of this portal into ancient times, the day-to-day existence of a band of auxiliary soldiers in the Roman Army in the first century A.D. -- the dangers they faced, the food they ate, their deep comradeship, laughter and victories -- is revealed and how, amid their fight to survive the perils of a turbulent world, a love was found which would echo across the coming centuries.
