The Nero Prediction
Process presents a new kind of historical fiction. Author Humphry Knipe reconsiders one of the most despised leaders of ancient Rome. Was Nero the Antichrist who "fiddled" while Rome burnt, or an artistic genius trapped inside a Caesar? In an age where destiny is encoded in the stars and the code breakers are court astrologers, Nero's secretary battles the prediction that he will murder the musical messiah he promised to protect.
"The Nero Prediction captures very imaginatively an aspect of ancient thinking and planning that conventional scholarship usually ignores...It contributes to understanding the ancient mental landscape." — Miriam T. Griffin, author of Nero: The End of a Dynasty (Yale University Press)
