Praise for Simon Scarrow’s novelsA fast-moving and exceptionally well-paced historical thriller

* BBC History Magazine *A rip-roaring read * Mail on Sunday *Gripping, with an electric atmosphere and cracking pace * Sun *Plunges the reader as convincingly as ever into the violence and tribalism of Roman Britain * The Times *
