Lindsay Powell je historik a spisovateľ, ktorý sa zameriava na odhaľovanie menej známych osobností a udalostí z histórie. Verí, že ich príbehy si zaslúžia byť rozpovedané, aby doplnili naše chápanie minulosti. S osobitnou vášňou pre vojenskú históriu Rímskej ríše pátra po príbehoch v starovekých dokumentoch, nápisoch, minciach a archeologických nálezoch. Jeho práca čerpá z poznatkov archeológie, inžinierstva, medicíny a vedy, aby odhalil hlbšie pravdy.

Shim'on (Simon) Bar Kokhba was a messianic figure who led the Jews to revolt against the Roman Empire in its prime.
Drusus the Elder (Nero Claudius Drusus) was regarded by the Romans as the first conqueror of Germania (western Germany) and a hero in the mold of Alexander the Great. Yet there has never been a full volume dedicated to his remarkable story, achievements and legacy. Eager for Glory brings this heroic figure back to life for a modern audience.
