Editorial Reviews

“…the entire series is set firmly among the very best of early Romano British novels.”

“A great read that's loaded with carefully researched detail, placing the reader at the northern most extreme of Roman Britannia in the first century.”

“The historical research involved is breath-taking. Descriptions of the Roman military life and tactics seem to have been written by eye-witnesses, and the strength and honor of the Celtic tribes would make Braveheart proud."
