The False Prophet | Ancient World Mystery Story

What this episode covers

The False Prophet by David Drake is a short story by David Drake set in the waning days of the Roman Empire. It features his recurring classical Roman-era characters, Vettius (a ruthless soldier) and Dama (a witty merchant). The narrative follows the duo as they encounter a charlatan who is not quite what his loyal followers believe him to be, blending adventure and mystery with supernatural or science-fictional elements. The story is a centerpiece of Drake's Vettius and Dama mini-trilogy, which also includes Black Iron and The Shortest Way.Host - M.P.
