When Sci-Fi Crashes Into Ancient Rome

When Sci-Fi Crashes Into Ancient Rome — and Trolls

Every so often, you stumble across a book that makes you ask: “How did these ideas end up in the same story?” Maxwell Hoffman’s Ty “Turbo” Knight: Romans and Trolls Omnibus is absolutely one of those books.

This isn’t just a time-travel adventure. It’s a mix of:

Space-station bureaucracy
Celtic villages
Roman military camps
Comedy cosplay mishaps
Angry trolls armed with coal-powered slingshots

And somehow, it works.

The heart of the story doesn’t belong to the armored legions or the gadget-wielding space teens—it belongs to the stubborn, emotional troll tribe and the desperate villagers trying to avoid being swallowed by history.

Is it messy? A bit. Is it wild? Absolutely. But it’s also unexpectedly heartfelt, asking bigger questions about who gets remembered as a hero and how empathy plays across time.

If you love genre-bending stories that don’t apologize for being weird, this one deserves a spot on your reading list.
