Seasoned imperial officer Marcus Sempronius Gracchus leads the 9th Roman Legion into bloody battle against a fierce barbarian rival. It’s a battle he won’t survive. When he awakens three days later, clawing his way from a hastily dug grave,

Marcus realizes he cannot be killed—but that won’t stop him from dying time and again over the next 2,000 years. Burdened with a debt he cannot pay, is he cursed to walk the Earth without end?

Meanwhile, other immortals plan to bring the world crashing to its knees. Can he prevent the inevitable and find redemption?

The Last Roman lies somewhere between fantasy, historical drama, and a techno-thriller. Don’t miss the debut novel from B.K. Greenwood, and part one of an exciting new trilogy that will have fans of Highlander and Jason Bourne on the edge of their seats.

Redemption is elusive

The air was thick with the scent of dying books.

From a dark recess, Marcus watched an old monk move from case to case, his bony hands slipping the ancient volumes into openings on the various shelves.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Greenwood... has a real talent for plot and action, and the novel races forward in a style that may remind readers of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. This is a ride that will keep you pinned to your seat from start to finish." The Historical Novel Society

"The concept of immortals, although not new to fiction, is presented in a unique way, and the author does a spectacular job of setting up the storyline for the remaining books in the trilogy. The Last Roman by B. K. Greenwood is a perfect hybrid of historical fiction and thriller, with an engaging and ingeniously original storyline." Lone Star Literary Life

"Greenwood's story offers the opportunity to view historical events through different eyes and surprising perspectives. This lends the story an intriguing tone and nature that is filled with satisfying twists and turns." D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"There's an old adage in Hollywood circles to "give them something familiar, yet new. Greenwood succeeds in this regard with a story that crosses reader genres. Cinematic scenes and settings draw elements in part from films like Gladiator and Highlander, as well as book-to-film characters such as Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne and Dan Brown's Robert Langdon... yet the story is highly original and fresh in its own right." Brent E. Jones, Author Days of Steel Rain

"With a strong grounding in the history, this modern-day technothriller will please fantasy fans of epics like Highlander along with those who love the high-octane action of the Bourne series..." Gareth Clegg, Author of Fogbound

"Greenwood's grasp of ancient history, coupled with a breakneck action writing style, barely gives the reader a moment's pause. And the good news? "Exile" is the first part of a three-book series." Dan Szczesny, Author of The White Mountain

"Greenwood has created a fascinating read that seamlessly transitions from the battlefields of ancient Rome to the dangerous streets of the modern world. His detailed writing and memorable characters keep you turning the pages and promise more great adventures in his coming novels." Jeff Hein, Author of Out of the Northern Mists

"An extraordinary idea extraordinarily well-told. Greenwood has a special talent for creating believable characters set in a believably realized historic setting." Ron Miller, Hugo Award-winning author.

This book is well written and will keep the reader captivated. The author introduced a new concept which gives the story an interesting twist. The Historical time line is very accurate. When I was about a 1/3rd of the way through the book, I ordered book 2.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Last Roman, Casca Updated
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024

I read a series of books many years ago called Casca. In that series Casca was the centurion who stabbed Jesus with a spear and was cursed to be reincarnated as a soldier every time he died.

The Last Roman, to me, is just an updated version of the Casca series. Entertaining but, if you read the Casca series you will recognize the plot immediately.

4.0 out of 5 stars Resurrection by Jesus
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024
Verified Purchase
I really liked this book because it is about immortality and suffering with a plot that won't let you go until the end. This is a story about Marcus Agrippa the Roman soldier that put the speed through Jesus side and Jesus made him immortal to fight for Christianity. Jesus resurrected aseveral people during that time Nicodemus, doubting Thomas, Lazarus, Isabella and Rebecca. Marcus is a fighter and has lived for 2,000 years. He has help from a small group of people. This issues his story. The story is about his exile, he can never have contact with his family again. They were sold into slavery and his wife died and he has to live with that grief. Immortality comes with a lot of regret. He does not die. It is not impossible to die but it is hard to die. This is about his connection to the church and what is right. Doubting Thomas has a crush in faith because Rebecca has died burned as witch. He a nd Lazarus have plotted to bring Jesus back from the dead with the shroud of Turin and put the devil into his body and open the gates of hell. That is how the book ends. I may have given the plot away but this book is about Marcus and his story and battles throughout the ages, his strength and conviction and his story with Isabellla. It is a good story and you learn about holy wars. It is a historical non element with interesting storyline that keeps you engaged. It is a kindle unlimited boook. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well crafted historical fiction action novel with characters you will care about.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
At its heart, "the last Roman", is an action novel. And on that, it certainly delivers. It has an excellent pace and keeps the reader running to keep up. The author provides enough to get you to the next scene and doesn't hold you back with extraneous description or events. You can see the action, the fights as they play out in the slow motion that only the written word can portray. You see the hits, the grappling, the leaps and the pain as Marcus fights off the enemy.
As a work of historical fiction, the flashbacks of historical events are carefully researched and reliable. You can relive history through these carefully crafted retellings through the eyes of Marcus. As a student of History, I appreciated this attention to detail and not allowing anachronisms in the writing of these past events. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres so this is added bonus to this novel.
The dialogue is natural and thought-provoking; with healthy doses of humor, satire, and sadness. The dialogue and the action reveal both the darkness and nobility of human character often within the same character. The dialogue often waxes philosophic, asking questions many of us ask in the course of our lives when things get really dark.
The plot is well constructed and the author gives sufficient cues to let us know when we are changing between places and times, very important since there are a number of flashbacks.
The main characters are well-developed and I look forward to seeing more about them in the following novels. But I have seen enough to actually care about them at this point. I even care about Thomas and what happens to him.
I really liked the quotes starting each chapter, another special something that makes this novel stand out to me.
Whenever I read the first book in a series this is the question that I have to answer yes to. Do actually care about these characters? I look forward to reading more about Marcus, Sam, Isabella and Thomas.

This work of fiction was written in such a way that one could almost believe it was true. A real page Turner. I was intrigued by the concept of earthly immortality as opposed to living forever in heaven or hell.

The storyline is great with fantastic characters and a good twist that encourages you to read the next book. Some of the descriptions of the action scenes are a little drawn out and could be shorter, but I’m nitpicking. This story would make a great movie.
