I've just been lucky enough to read an advance copy of this book, and loved it. Set on and around Hadrian's Wall, with a Roman (originally of noble birth, but fallen on hard times) commanding as centurion an auxilliary century of Tungrians. The battle scenes are the most authentic I have ever read- really well researched- and the whole thing is gripping. I also loved the interplay, joshing and mick taking between the soldiers. Its genuinely gritty and visceral. I rate it above the Scarrow books- which I really liked. Hopefully there will be sequels?
Highly recommended- five star stuff. Not out yet, but can be pre ordered.
Cheers
