Synopsis

Three years have passed since the Claudian invasion of Britannia in AD 43. Caratacus has been forced to retreat to the west, where he now leads the free tribes against the Roman occupation of their land. From his mountain stronghold, he launches devastating attacks upon the legions seeking retribution for the death of his brother and thousands of Britons. The war has just begun, but it's not a war that Rome is used to fighting as Caratacus' warriors strike and then vanish into the hills and mist. The Roman war machine has been halted in its tracks and now struggles to come to terms with the tactics used by an enemy employing the guile and cunning of a wolf, and the ferocity of a wounded bear, an enemy they believed should have been brushed aside already. As the conflict continues and battles rage, a fight to the death ensues, a fight between a warrior's honour and an empire's strength, both determined upon victory.

About the Author

John has always had a passion for the Roman world, especially Roman Britain. He was born in Chester on the English/Welsh border in the UK, the former Roman City of Deva. He joined the Royal Air Force at the age of 17, and over the next 25 years travelled and served all over the world, attaining the rank of Flight Sergeant. During that time, his interest in the subject matter grew, and as well as studying historical texts, he visited as many sites related to the Roman Empire as he was able. Further inspired by authors such as Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane, Manda Scott, Douglas Jackson, Ruth Downie and many more, he began working on the Blood of Rome series. The first book, 'Blood of Rome Caratacus' was published in September 2013.
