What They're Saying
Critics Review
A thoroughly good read…vividly imagined…elegant, lively writing– SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Perfectly fuses the hope and horror of ancient Rome with that of the modern world * Daniel Godfrey, author of New Pompeii *
This is a magnificent series * Adrian Tchaikovsky *
Epic in undertaking, Romanitas creates a fascinating world that is both contemporary in tone, and yet about as far removed from the world we live in as it is possible to imagine. McDougall’s writing style is fresh and light, and the involving story ensures you’ll gobble up the 400 pages in no time, staying eager to find out how the remainder of the trilogy unfolds * Dreamwatch *
Wonderful alt history, beautiful, heart-breaking, sweeping, surprising * Lauren Beukes *
Compulsively readable … grips like a vice * SFX *
An enjoyable smart yarn with some real sense of human pain * Time Out *
