Summary

In 'Cabin Fever', B. M. Bower deftly weaves a rich narrative exploring the rugged life of early 20th-century American pioneers in the West. The novel is characterized by Bower's trademark blend of vivid descriptions and authentic dialogue, immersing readers in the isolation and camaraderie that define the settler experience. Through dynamic characters facing the harsh realities of the wilderness while navigating complex interpersonal relationships, Bower captures the essence of the American spirit and the psychological nuances of solitude, making this work a pivotal study in the context of frontier literature. B. M. Bower, a prolific author known for her deep connection to Western themes, draws upon her own experiences in the landscapes of Montana and the larger American frontier, which likely influenced her portrayal of resilience and community. As one of the few female writers in the early 1900s to gain acclaim in this genre, Bower's contributions are often overshadowed yet remain significant in understanding the socio-cultural dynamics of her time and its literary legacy. A must-read for lovers of historical fiction and Western narratives, 'Cabin Fever' offers an intimate look at pioneering life, encompassing both the external challenges of the untamed landscape and the internal struggles of human existence. Bower's engaging storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own notions of belonging and survival in a rapidly changing world.

    Circus Maximus, Final Justice is a historical fiction epic set in ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius (42 CE). The story reimagines the classic Ben-Hur narrative with an Egyptian female protagonist facing the son of the infamous Emperor Caligula in a climactic chariot race that becomes a symbol of justice versus oppression. 
Main Characters 
Khaemwaset is an 18-year-old Egyptian woman from Alexandria, daughter of master charioteer Amenhotep and priestess Nefertiti. Raised in a family renowned for their horse-training expertise, she possesses an almost mystical connection with horses and exceptional racing skills. Her life is shattered when Roman forces raid her family's compound under false pretenses of sedition, killing her parents and enslaving her. 
Marcus Caligula Germanicus, the fictional 25-year-old son of Emperor Caligula, embodies Roman arrogance and entitlement. Cruel, intelligent, and obsessed with proving his imperial worthiness, he views Khaemwaset's skills as a threat to Roman superiority and challenges her to a race to demonstrate the natural dominance of Roman blood over conquered peoples. 
Plot Summary 
The story begins in Alexandria, where Khaemwaset learns chariot racing from her father while her mother serves as a priestess of Isis. Their peaceful life ends when Roman forces, acting on Caligula's orders, seize their property and horses under fabricated treason charges. The raid is actually part of a systematic campaign to eliminate competition in chariot racing and secure the finest horses for Roman teams. 
Sold into slavery, Khaemwaset is transported to Rome's imperial stables, where her extraordinary abilities with horses quickly become apparent. Marcus discovers her background and, recognizing both her talent and her symbolic threat to Roman supremacy, forces her into a public race in the Circus Maximus. He frames the contest as a demonstration of Roman superiority over conquered peoples.
