Abject Authority

Clay Warrior Stories, Book 19

By: J. Clifton Slater

Narrated by: P.J. Ochlan

Some skills need to remain relevant.

Everybody starts at the bottom when they change careers. Alerio Sisera understood the concept. He even recognized the difference between being a military man who lived by the gladius and a politician who used a pen to craft agreements.

But the theory went to Hades when a series of brutal robberies required Lictor Sisera to investigate the crimes. Bringing fresh eyes to the scenes, a different perspective to the questioning, and postulating a hypothesis ended when blades were drawn.

In Abject Authority, Alerio is forced to fight for his life while trying to enforce the laws of the Republic. It seems even as a politician, Alerio Sisera needs to keep his blades sharp because some skills are never truly retired.
