in preparation for the ides of march, Tor is assembling its ideal team to storm the Roman senate...
MEET THE CAST
THE SENATORS
Tess (The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz): well, someone’s got to time travel the team there
Anji (Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam): a really standout resume considering her record of prior accomplishments
I (Hell’s Heart by Alexis Hall): if I was down to hunt a deadly, deep-space leviathan, Julius Caesar should be small fry in comparison
Victor Vale (The Villains series by V. E. Schwab): someone’s got to mastermind the plot here, and we’d rather not leave it to amateurs
Sebastian Grave (The Red Winter by Cameron Sullivan): immortal monster-hunting professor and his demonic passenger? Please, this is nothing compared to the Beast of Gévaudan
THE CAESAR
Jod (The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir): look me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t think he should be stabbed 23 times.
"but Jod is too powerful and simply would not get stabbed" well perfect we have reusable Caesar. evergreen Caesar. environmentally sustainable Caesar
ALONG FOR THE RIDE BECAUSE WE WANTED THEM IN THIS LIST
Olaf Aufhocker (The Works of Vermin by Hiron Ennes): someone really ought to write a dramatic opera about the event, and we can think of no better playwright (may have to edit some giant bugs out of the final draft, but you know the poetry will be fire)
but Tor, you forgot about [this book]! Did you check out our list last year?
