The Last Stoic is a story about Marcus, a young man who leaves his home in the northern hinterland for opportunity in the heart of an empire. It takes place both in the time and place of Ancient Rome and modern America, with the chapters alternating from setting to setting. Marcus is mistakenly jailed for the crime of treason and is interrogated. Only the words of the stoic, philosopher-king Marcus Aurelius give him the strength to survive his ordeal. Free on Kindle.
