Pliny's last history

Pliny is the Commander of the Imperial Fleet docked twenty miles from Pompeii. He is also a great scholar, but no one knows that the mountain Vesuvius is actually a dormant volcano, which is about to produce a disastrous eruption. Despite the danger, Pliny will not hesitate to go to sea with the largest ships, trying to save the population of the coast.

Writer Biography - Marco Pizzi

I am a PhD physicist who has turned to literature. I have written short stories, novels and several award-winning plays. I have recently adapted screenplays from some of these works. I try to be as realistic as possible (I was a scientist after all) – reality stimulates my creativity. I love mixing comedy and drama, action and poetry. Plot is important, but characters make the difference.
