What They're Saying
Critics Review
Superbly written and packed with historical detail and action. – Kate Atherton * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
What a fantastic writer Douglas Jackson is … Glory of Rome is a thrilling novel from the outset and culminates in a brilliant battle sequence that had me on the edge of my seat. * FOR WINTER NIGHTS *
The plot is taut and gallops along at a pace. The characters are all well-drawn and convincing, while the action sequences are exciting, bloody, and dramatic, without being overly graphic. The novel can be read as a standalone without any loss of enjoyment. A gripping tale from start to finish, and you will find it difficult to put down. Recommended. * HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW *
