"...well crafted tale pulsates with violence, intrigue and romance to say nothing of complex plot twists...add to this intelligent mix a sprinkling of dry humour and you have the perfect recipe for a good read.'' Newcastle Journal.

"A gripping novel...page turner...convincing and colourful picture of Roman Britain. Legions of the Moon is as plausible as it is exciting.'' Northern Echo.

Marketing is two pronged: Legions of the Moon is a rattling good historical and literary fiction read. It’s also so well researched as to be a highly plausible, visually rich reimagination of the Roman occupation of Britain that is ironically relevant to the world order today.
