 Count Belisarius
Count Belisarius is a historical novel by Robert Graves, first published in 1938, recounting the life of the Byzantine general Belisarius (AD 500-AD 565). Just as Graves' Claudius books (I, Claudius and Claudius the God and his Wife Messalina) were based upon, for example, The Twelve Caesars of Suetonius, Count Belisarius is largely based on Procopius's History of Justinian's Wars and Secret History. However, Graves's history has been criticized by at least one modern historian. |

 In the Heart of Darkness
by Eric Flint and David Drake
The Malwa Empire has conquered 6th century India and is forging the subcontinent's vast population into an invincible weapon of tyranny. Belisarius, the finest general of his age, must save the world. Guided by visions from a future that may never be, he and a band of comrades penetrate the Malwa heartland, seeking the core of the enemy's power. And when Belisarius leads the forces of good, only a fool would side with evil. |
