Page Length: 190
Genre: Historical Fiction

Two Alexandrian students, one ancient empire, and a sky full of mystery. Join Hero and Lucia as they chase a strange star across mountains, deserts, and ancient cities. The Guest Star is a thrilling journey packed with danger, heart, fascinating details, and the timeless excitement of discovery.

At the end of the second century, after a mysterious new and large star appears in the night sky of Aegyptus, two students of the Great Library of Alexandria embark on a search for an explanation following a clue inserted into a famous Ptolemy's manuscript of the geographical description of the Roman Empire. Along the way, they meet allies and enemies, love and betrayal, and discover a path that brings them closer to a better understanding of nature and the universe itself.

The Guest Star is also a historical adventure in which ancient Roman and Chinese cultures intertwined at the start of the Silk Road, several years before the first major civil war erupted following Emperor Commodus' assassination. The story is portrayed from a slightly different perspective and goes beyond the generally accepted clichés in the history of the Roman Empire.
