Cr�ticas:

For The Lantern Bearers: 'This is historical fiction at its best. Post Roman Britain comes alive in this novel. The characters are all believable and no matter how small a part they play they are complete, as is the plot-no strands are left loose.' (Historical Novels Review)

For The Eagle of the Ninth: 'Decades later, I can still hear echoes of The Eagle of the Ninth in my head: the chink of mail, the tired beat of the legionaries' feet.' (Independent)

What a splendid story it is, compulsive reading! (Junior Bookshelf)
