Ave!
It is my sincerest wish that, through our writings in this topic, we can introduce many more members to this enthralling book.
Volker Bach has experienced the pleasures of reading "Imperial Governor" for the first time.
Could he be the first of many? It's up to us to ensure that he is.
This extract is from the first page in my copy of the book.
"Imperial Governor
Written in the form of the memoirs of Suetonius Paulinus, former governor of Britain, this superb novel relates how he stove by force of his legions and by diplomacy both political and amorous to bring the territory under Roman domination. George Shipway vividly evokes the ferocious human struggle that reeled across the wolds, valleys, mountains and fens of Britain in every kind of weather. It is the story of a strong and capable man's frustrations, culminating in the rebellion of the British queen Boudicca (Boadicea), and the bitter vengeance which led to his downfall."
A review.
"How superbly George Shipway manages his story ... I found the novel engrossing. Through its unforced realism and imaginative insight it vividly brings alive a fascinating phase of the Roman occupation of Britain" THE SCOTSMAN
Add your voice to ours, write about how much you've enjoyed reading "Imperial Governor".
