In The Reincatnationist, Rose looks into a mystery that is thousands of years old. But unlike other books dealing with ancient historical mysteries, she focuses on an ancient pagan mystery. It was a refreshing change from all the Christian and Knights Templar stories that have proliferated in the past decade. It centers around a dig site outside of Rome where the last Vestal Virgin was buried alive after she breaks her vows and becomes pregnant. The book’s main character, Josh Ryder, has been having flashbacks to past lives for the past few years after a near death accident. Upon visiting the site, Josh knows he has been there before and believes that he knows who the woman’s skeleton they found is. She holds the secret of the Memory Stones. Death, thievery, and mayhem follow and soon Josh is intent on helping people that he believes he knew in previous lives. There is a madman who wants the stones and though he does not want people to die, getting the stones is more important that everyone. The present day story is interspersed with flashbacks of Josh and a few other characters to ancient Rome and to the US in the 1880s. It is a gripping tale although some of the plot lines were left dangling at the end of the story. Yet it does all come together to make a complete picture surrounding past life regression and the memory stones. The premise was interesting and delves into an area not often discussed in Western literature (or at least not that I have read). I hope that this will spawn other stories of its ilk.

Yesterday, Peter Heather the author of The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Roman and the Barbarians taught us about the Battle of Hadrianople. Today he has kindly answered a few questions for OUP.
OUP: Have you always been interested in Roman history? What inspired you to write this book about the fall of Rome, rather than tackle an easier Roman period? (more…)
