Born in Brooklyn, Larry LaRocca lived the first 45 years of his life in the greater New York metropolitan area. From a childhood on Long Island, many years living on the Lower East Side and finally a return to the borough of his birth where his son Primo was born, Larry is a Native New Yorker. From a very early age his interest in physical training, martial arts, alternative healing and a pursuit of God led to a lucrative career spanning 25 years as a personal trainer, sensei, and accomplished healer. His pursuit of the "Renaissance ideal" led to a life of adventure and discovery both inside and out. His experiences led Larry to believe that not everyone who shapes history is mentioned in it. Combined with his long time zeal for the impact of Rome and Christ on every aspect of our society and consciousness today led to the inevitable "what if" scenario found in his first novel "The Roman", the story of a young man who was an intimate part of the singular event which changed all eternity.
There is a holy man walking the deserts of a dry and dusty Roman province. Judea is known for two things, rabid anti-Roman revolutionaries and Holy men. There is a new holy man walking the streets of Jerusalem, the lakes and hills nearby. He speaks the old words in a new way, reaching the ears of all, including the mad Caesar Augustus. A warrior is sent. He will change the world by his actions. Slinger is a man born and bred to action. Raised in the far flung outreaches of the Empire in a time of revolt and tumult. Raised an orphan, he is brought into the closed ranks of an elite Roman unit. A unit where thought and deed are trained to become a single blinding reaction of stealth and violence. A life where a mistake is death. Slingers or his opponents. A hero by nature, Slinger finds himself vaulted into the glittering betrayal that is the inner circles of Rome. Guided by his father, a warrior of even greater violence, Slinger finds himself assigned to a new and seemingly foolish task. To please the mad Augustus, Slinger travels to this strange eastern land. His task, observe this Jesus, learn his words and if needed, kill him. No one, least of all Slinger can foresee the turn of events that will occur when this battle hardened soldier meets the King of Heaven.
