Hello Everyone,

This is blowing the dust off of a long dormant thread, but I thought that the following information might be of interest to those of you who like to read Rome-oriented fiction.
Damion Hunter is a pseudonym for the author Amanda Cockrell. She has not written additional books in the "Centurion" series, but her first novel, "Legions of the Mist", is set in Roman Britain and is about the disappearance of the Ninth Legion. It was published in 1979 and is no longer in print.
Ms. Cockrell has also written a number of other novels, including what appear to be two series about native Americans and something about Hollywood. For more information: http://www.amandacockrell.com/bio.htm
I read "Centurions" and "Barbarian Princess" some time ago and really enjoyed them. I have been looking forward to reading the third ("Emperor's Games"), but given the hefty price of the third novel on the used market I have not as yet taken the plunge. Used copies of "Legions of the Mist" are still reasonable and I hope to read this one soon.
