Summary

The Republic is dying. One honest man is determined to save it.

Quintus Sertorius grows up in the rugged Sabine hills with nothing but honor, discipline, and ambition. He dreams of serving Rome as a legionary, statesman, and defender of the Republic his father taught him to revere.

But the Rome he enters is rotting from within.

Elite politicians buy elections with gold. Assassinations are whispered into existence beneath marble columns. Nobles host lavish feasts while the people starve. Power is traded like currency, and loyalty is demanded without question.

Torn between obedience to his patrons and all the principles he holds dear, Sertorius must answer a brutal question: how much does it cost to be a good man?

Determined to serve the Republic in whatever way he can, he joins the legion and marches north against the most dangerous enemy Rome has faced in generations—an enemy threatening annihilation.

Cities burn. Friends fall. And on the blood-soaked frontier, Sertorius discovers that Rome's greatest enemies are not always the ones across the battlefield. Catastrophe looms.

But Sertorius is determined to save the Republic before it's too late.

Perfect for fans of Colleen McCullough, Robert Harris, and Conn Iggulden, The Man with Two Names is a historical fiction novel based on one of Rome's most brilliant (and forgotten) commanders. If you enjoy historically accurate books with political intrigue and heart-pounding battle scenes, you'll love The Man with Two Names.
