Ave pelgr003,
Well done, I've rewarded your diligence with a kahma point.
It's good to know that I'm not alone in my search for items on or about Boudicca and "Imperial Governor".
Here's another review from Amazon.com.
"One of the better Roman novels . . ., April 26, 2004
Reviewer: fastreaderslowlearner (the Deep South)
There are plenty of reviews dealing with the plotline; so, if it's o.k., I'm mainly going to deal with my impression of the book . . .
Imperial Governor is one of the better historical novels I've read. If you like your reading to be seamless, entertaining, as close to a "page turner" as possible AND chock full of factual history, then this is a very good book for you to pick up. The story deals with Rome's occupation of Britain, or at least the few years involving Paulinius' reign as governor, which spans Boudicca's revolt. The perspective is definitely that of the Roman, particularly Paulinius. Nothing wrong with that, but if you are looking for something more from the side of Britain or Boudicca, keep looking (but don't fail to read this too.)
Well written, vastly entertaining, and enlightening . . . If you're into history in general or Roman in particular, get this book."
