Caesar: Escapades in Rome (Historical Stories) Kindle Edition

Destiny is a journey, not a finish-line. A warrior designs his destiny with each step along his path.


I have fought pirates on the choppy waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I have wept beside the statue of Alexander, in Hispania. I have risen from defeat at the hands of Pompey, who was once my friend.


On the muddy banks of the Rubicon, I have made a difficult decision for a unique problem—just like you might be facing today.


But guess what? You don’t need a herculean physique to fight the battles of life. And you don’t need a famous father or mountains of sestertii. Just like I didn’t need them in ancient times to blaze a trail for Roman emperors, you don’t need them, even today.


All you need is grit—never letting self-doubt crush your spirit, even in the face of overwhelming odds.


Journey with me as we battle foes on land, on sea—and in life, at times victorious, at others crying in frustration, but always gaining clarity about our destiny, and striving towards it. Along this road, feel free to pick up skills that made me who I am.


Caesar: Escapades in Rome is not a book about Roman history; instead, it is a chronicle of my non-stop adventures through Ancient Rome.

About the Author

As a neurosurgeon, A. David Singh loved operating on brains invaded by tumors, aneurysms, and other vile maladies. However, after turning a couple or more gray hair, his own brain got invaded by a rather strange affliction. 

A set of characters from a parallel universe besieged his brain cells and refused to leave, unless David transcribed their lives on paper. At first, he resisted the assault on his cerebral faculties, but these characters kept prodding his little gray cells with their antics, forcing him to write their story -- called "Magical Rome".

You can enter the Universe of Magical Rome through the novel Dead Boy's Game.

Villius, Julius, Aelius, Calpurnia, Gellia, Fufius Cita, the Heretic Historian, and the Banished Druid welcome you into their magnificent and dangerous world.

A neurosurgeon by profession, A. David Singh operated on brains invaded by tumors, aneurysms, and other vile maladies. Funnily, after turning a couple (or more) gray hair, a rather strange affliction invaded his own brain.

Characters from a parallel universe besieged his brain cells and refused to leave, unless David transcribed their lives on paper. At first, he resisted the assault on his cerebral faculties, but these denizens of the Magical Rome Universe kept prodding his gray cells with their antics, forcing him to write their story.

You can enter the Magical Rome Universe through the novel Dead Boy’s Game and The Broken Vow.

Villius, Calpurnia, Julius, Aelius, Gellia, Julia, Fufius Cita, the Heretic Historian, and the Banished Druid welcome you into their magnificent and dangerous world.

A revealing and inspiring look @ Julius Caesar's greatness as a general and leader of his legions. His ability to plan and adapt when circumstances required were brilliant!

Wasn't my expectation. I was expecting more combat and was disappointed because I felt it was more of a summary of Caeser and not an actual story. I would've enjoyed it better if it had more detailed listing of his adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Check it out.
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2017
A fun and interesting way to illustrate some basic truths by using excerpts from the life of Caesar. Even if you know the historical stuff about Caesar or you are just wanting to learn about Caesar for the first time this book has many things to recommend it. Check it out and see for yourself. You just may like it on either level or both levels so you probably can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rome during the first Century BC awaits the readers
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017
A. David Singh’s Caesar: Escapades in Rome, is a collection of ten short stories about a boy born in July 100 BC, in a small town on the banks of river Tiber whose inhabitants are described as having two attributes: their love for their town, and their love for war. The town was Rome, and the boy’s name was Gaius Julius Caesar.
Among the numerous evocative scenes in the stories and perhaps the most memorable one, is that of Julius Caesar, slumped to the ground, clutching the leg of Alexander’s statue. Caesar weeps upon learning that Alexander had ‘conquered the world, from Greece to India, when he was but thirty’ and believes the statue’s steely gaze mocks Caesar’s paltry accomplishment as a ‘glorified book-keeper’. About a decade later, a determined Caesar would capture Gaul and go on to become the dictator of Rome. Had Caesar succumbed to that moment of insecurity, by Alexander’s statue, history would have indeed been written differently.
The stories will take you on a thrilling journey with Caesar, both within Rome and in the far off lands he conquered. The tales are sprinkled with humor as well as internet links that will whisk you away to the Roman era before Christ. An exhilarating and informative read. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good narrative
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
Caesar: Escapades In Rome is an excellent collection of short stories based on Julius Caesar by A David Singh. Each story provides an insight into the mind of the great dictator and with motivational messages relevant across all eras.
From the author comes another great narrative , Rubicon,
intimately related to Caesar: Escapades In Rome. It's neither a prequel nor a sequel but a new venture where the protagonist gets dissected from another complimentary angle. Suggestions to readers: Keep a copy of Caesar: Escapades in Rome to read alongside Rubicon, and refer to the map of ancient rome (inside Rubicon) for a truly seamless enriching experience. Don't miss the author's note in Rubicon.

“Never heard before escapades of Julius Caesar. From a prisoner aboard a pirate galley to the dictator of Rome, how Caesar catches up with his destiny. A. David Singh’s brilliant mind is channeled through Caesar: Escapades in Rome. Elegantly written and brilliantly crafted. Simply loved reading this book. Even though I am always trying to find the time to read, Caesar: Escapades in Rome leaves me begging for more. This book has also infected my book club members in a very short time.” Undoubtedly the best book i have read this year.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016
I absolutely adored Caesar Escapades in Rome. A. David Singh has beautiful penmanship, he is brilliant & passionate. I just wish I would of had a history teacher with such humor & passion. This book of short stories about Caesar make him look & feel human as opposed to the heroic history books that make them look like inhuman eternal heroes.

It's a triumph. It's not easy to turn historical fact into fiction and at the same time add humor to it. David singh does all this with finesse .A must read for everyone. I think it's time David wrote a full length novel.
