Fire on the Frontier
A Novel of Revenge and Redemption
by Kenneth Kunkel
Rome and the Northern Frontier. 9 C.E.
One seeks revenge against the barbarians who killed his parents.
One desires freedom by fighting in the arena.
One craves victory over the empire that abducted him from his parents.
One demands justice for the port's murder victims.
All leads to the Teutoburg Forest where three Roman legions will clash with the Germanic tribes.
The world will be forever changed.
Praise for Fire on the Frontier:
"A nuanced story of conflicts in the Roman Empire...Looks at familiar aspects of ancient Rome from some unexpected angles...Takes a close look at Rome's relationship with barbarian peoples...Readers will come to understand the often gruesome world that the characters inhabit."

Ken grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His fascination with all things Roman began with seeing the film “Ben-Hur” when he was nine years old. From then on, he watched as many epic films as he could, thanks to the generosity of his parents. Reading and art joined movies as his other passions. His reading list included archeology, ancient empires, mythology, biblical scholarship, comparative religions, science fiction, and thrillers.
His professional career took him in another direction though: Information Technology. From programmer to director, he traveled through the industry for forty-eight years. But during that time, he devised stories which made his wife comment, “You really need to write those down.”
Ken is retired now with his wife, Karen, of over fifty years and lives in southern Florida. And, he’s writing those stories down.
