Rob Cain interviewed Alison Morton, author of the thriller and the altenative history book INCEPTIO. Synopsis: Imagine a Christian Emperor forcing pagans to convert, and those that refuse decide to migrate to a new homeland in Europe. Now in the 21st Century a NEW ROME, a ROMA NOVA has come into being. Roma Nova is now an advanced techological society ruled by women and a force once called the Praetorian Guard has grown into a modern SAS. Why read alternative history? It is nothing short of "what might have been" and clarifies if events are as inevitable as we might think. Alison Morton, an army veteran, and educated in history, uses her imagination to take us down "the path less taken" in several exciting adventure stories. Her books includes: Inceptio, Carina, Perfiditas, Successio, Aurelia, and many others. Interested in how the world of Roma Nova began? Check out the thrillers Julia Prima and Exsilium. The podcast begins with Matthew Leigh Embleton returning to present Absinthe Part 2. He provides us additional information on this early medicine of antiquity, and how it has turned into a green spirit drink ordered by hipsters and poets. Yes, Hemingway drank it and even writer and playwright Oscar Wilde. Rob Cain encourages listeners to try the drink, and email their experiences and observations to the show.
