"A perfect replica of Pompeii has been built in a formerly Soviet
central Asian republic. But this isn’t some grand-scale
historical re-enactment venue. The town has been
populated with the residents of the real Pompeii who have been
snatched from their homes just before Vesuvius erupted and dragged
forward in time using cutting-edge technology. The
corporation responsible intends to exploit their creation for all
it’s worth, but things, of course, do not go to
plan. The Pompeiians are smarter and less biddable than
anticipated and have no wish to be exhibits or reality-TV
fodder.

brutal, New Pompeii is a thrillingly original take on the time

“An exuberant, high-concept thriller that brings ancient Rome
crashing into the present day. Smart, inventive and action-packed.”
– Tom Harper, bestselling author of The Lost Temple

“New Pompeii is part sci-fi, part historical thriller. I’ve

“New Pompeii is a fast-paced, intense thriller, reminding me most
of Tom Clancy’s page-turners, where the technology matters, but not
nearly as much as what people choose to do with it.” - Fangirl
Nation
“Much like Crichton, Godfrey seems most at home delving into the
nerdy details of his thought experiment, bringing to life the world
of the Pompeiians with a convincing degree of historical accuracy”
- Shelf Awareness
“A treat for fans of well-thought out science fiction. There are
twists and turns that are dizzying but it’s an enjoyable ride.”
- Impedimenta Magazine

History, I was pleased the look at Pompeii and Roman society was
well-researched, with enough historical facts to make the
characters and setting believable without bogging down the
narrative.” - Borg.com
