The Story:   I guess you could call Mananaran an epic journey set in the distant past, combining the fantastic and the ordinary, the depths of despair and the height of joy, a tale of the lowliest beggars to the loftiest of kings in a saga of Homeric proportions that spans the entirety of human emotions and experiences and that reflects the eternal struggle of man. But you could also say that about a bagel if you had enough time to make up a story about it. So you can forget all that existential stuff and just have fun reading the comic misadventures of Nikko, Yoiko, and Proba, three girls running away from a horrible life worshiping some Roman goddess; Gaius, the misunderstood and overly spoiled son of the Emperor; Strongus, a strong and attractive Roman army guy; and Heso, a god formerly from up on Mt. Olympus before he got kicked out.
