A propulsive, enthralling historical thriller by Mike Ripley, the acclaimed author of the new novels in Margery Allingham's beloved Albert Campion series. In Britain, the far western edge of Roman Empire, one Celtic tribe rebels against their ruthless oppressors. They are led by Boudica, their widowed queen, on a rampage of violence across the country. Reluctantly at her side is Olussa, a Roman spy struggling with torn loyalties and desperate to survive. But despite Boudica's initial success, he knows she and her tribe are doomed. Emperor Nero and the mighty Roman legions will drench Britain in blood to avoid being defeated by a woman. Praise for Mike Ripley "Ripley brings it all to life - and, alas, to death - with his customary plotting skill and the quality of his writing." Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse series. "A sanguinary, rousing, rule-breaking historical novel." The Literary Review "Brutal, foul-mouthed, extraordinarily witty and leaves you thinking that this was exactly what Boudica's rebellion was like." Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe series "Ripley's novels are as witty as they are deftly plotted...boisterous and inventive." Phillip Kerr, author of the Bernie Gunther series. "Brilliantly brings to life, with acerbic wit, the glory and corruption of Roman Britain." Paul Doherty, winner of the Historical Mystery Appreciation Society's Lifetime Achievement Award "Clever, witty, and packed with intriguing characters, period ambiance, and unexpected twists."

A down-and-dirty retelling of the revolt of Queen Boudica (often referred to as 'Boadicea') against the Roman Empire in AD 60/61. There is no New Age mysticism or romanticised nationalism is this gritty, realistic version (based on archaeological finds); just spies, greed, corrupt politicians, a ruthless military machine and one or two good jokes in Latin.
An excellent read, though I say it myself.
