A new book in Simon Scarrow's long-running series about the Roman
army is always a joy... It is heartening for fans of Cato and Macro
that their adventures remain as lively as ever -- Antonia Senior *
The Times *
Fourteen books in and he manages to make the series fresh again, a
new depth to Macro and Cato, a new edge to the Roman world and
conflicts in Britannia, all achieved with style and a simply
splendid plot line. Highly recommended * Parmenion Books *
Britannia ... among the very best and quite possibly my
favourite. From the opening chapter, Scarrow plunges us deep into a
place that is as dangerous as it is atmospheric, the winter
creeping in, beset by the hostility of the people who live in these
hills... The action and drama never let up from first to last
pages... There is one scene in particular involving Cato and boats
during a great storm that is absolutely fantastic, brilliantly
written and imagined * Winternights Blog *
Praise for Simon's earlier novels 'A good, uncomplicated,
rip-roaring read * Mail on Sunday *
I don't need this kind of competition -- Bernard Cornwell
Simon Scarrow's stories of Roman military action in Britain have
gathered quite a fan club and it's not hard to see why... Scarrow
is highly skilled at describing violent action... for those who
like their historical fiction to include plenty of bloody thrills
and spills * Living History *
An engrossing storyline, full of teeth-clenching battles, political
machinations, treachery, honour, love and death...More please! --
Elizabeth Chadwick
Tremendous * Daily Express *
Scarrow's rank with the best * Independent *
Scarrow's engaging pair of heroes... top stuff * Daily Telegraph
*
What an amazing roller-coaster of a ride... this book is
fantastic... So startlingly good, so utterly readable - and so
very, very courageous -- Manda Scott
Gripping and moving story about the war and the protagonists'
fractured friendships... [Scarrow's] sense of plot and pace is
strong * The Times *
