About this ebook
The next thing he knows, he’s picked up by a slave trader and taken to a marketplace in ancient Rome. Potential buyers poke and prod him, examining the merchandise from every angle, yet bidding is slow. After the auctioneer, who is keen for a sale, announces that Derek is a virgin, hands shoot into the air. All Derek can do is watch and pray whoever buys him is kind and halfway good-looking.
His prayers are soon answered, though he is informed on the way back to his new master’s villa that he is to be put to work that very night. Far from home and alone in a strange, ancient world, he does the best he can. Neither he nor his friends had talked about getting him home to 2029 again.

When in Rome
By Wayne Mansfield
Derek stood on the block of wood, naked and bewildered. A small length of rope tied securely around one ankle and attached to a small brass ring at one edge of the block kept him anchored to the spot. While he could not bring himself to look into
