Lost Scrolls of Archimedes
Join the action in Lost Scrolls of Archimedes, a science-fueled adventure of history that might have been. Set in Cleopatra’s Egypt, it is a coming-of-age story of a young scholar forced out of the dusty library and onto the world stage of a Roman civil war with the winner taking the rich lands of Egypt.
​
Armed with the ancient lost knowledge of Archimedes and others, a young scholar dares to stand up to the Roman juggernaut. Recently escaped from his fate as a galley slave, can he change the force of history? Will he realize his dream to build machines to sever the bonds of slavery?
