You wake in a strange room.

Your clothes are foreign and the walls are covered in objects from a different world.

You don't know where or when you are.

Or if you're still dreaming.

There are footsteps in the hall.

Jumping up, you race out of the room and into the streets.

You have just entered the Twilight Histories.

Today, I'd like to introduce our new writer, Kevin Valbenesi. Kevin is an experienced podcaster

who runs a company called Baroque Media. He wrote, voiced, and produced the show you're about

to hear today. I'd like to thank our members for making this show possible and in gratitude.

I have a very special show available for you.

You can hear a sample of it at the end of this show.

This is Rex Morris by Kevin Valbenese.

Enjoy.

Oh, hello. I'm Dr. Alexius, and you must be the new agent.

It's nice to have a fresh face around here.

Enthusiasm for the classical Roman Empire is in decline.

Sorry, I can't help myself.

Anyway, you can imagine that if people have had their fill of Trajan or Caesar Augustus,

they're probably not too keen on the 11 or so Constantine's.

And that's why you're here. Your paper on Norman Conquests in the Mediterranean was a wonderful read.

You were able to make that particular era leap off the page.
