Imagine the Roman Empire is still flourishing today...

In 2756 AC (2004 AD in Christian terms), magnetic railways span Roman territory from Persia to Terranova, and mechanised crucifixes are ranked along the banks of the Thames. As volume one of ROMANITAS opens, Marcus Novius Faustus Leo, heir apparent to the Imperial throne, is mourning the death of his parents following a tragic accident. However, as information about the last days of his father's life becomes known to him, Marcus realises that his father's death was no accident and that his own life is in danger.

Meanwhile, an escaped slave girl called Una, who possesses the power to look inside others' minds, struggles to save her brother, Sulien, from a London prison ship. In a fortune teller's stall in a Gallic flea-market, Marcus, Una and Sulien's paths cross, and the fate of the Empire rests on their shoulders...

ROMANITAS takes you into an amazing world which is recognisably contemporary and yet also far removed from our own.

Review:

a thoroughly good read... vividly imagined world... elegant, lively writing. (Jessica Mann SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

[a] hugely imaginative debut (Henry Sutton MIRROR)

Romanitas, the first of a three-parter... sets the stage for an absorbing drama (SUNDAY SPORT)

...fresh and new... ROMANITAS is beautifully written, being literary without alientating the reader...a modern classic (BOOKS AND MAGAZINE COLLECTOR)

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. (Jake Williams DREAMWATCH)

The plot of Romanitas had me gripped and kept the pages turning. ...original... well researched and believable (STARBURST)

Book Description:

The first novel in a breath-taking trilogy combining the magnetism of FATHERLAND and the epic scale of GLADIATOR.
