New evidence for annihilation of Ninth Legion in Britain?

[ParthianBow]

I came across this on our old favourite, Wikipedia, but it does list a real academic who's spoken about it, and lists a new text.

"Interestingly the tide of academic opinion seems to be returning to the view that the Legion was probably wiped out in Britain. In a recent book [6], Dr Miles Russell of Bournemouth University observes that there is strong evidence for a catastrophic British war resulting in the annhilation of the ninth early in the reign of Hadrian, possibly in AD 117 as the film suggests."

The book referred to is: [6] Miles Russell (2010) Bloodline: the Celtic Kings of Roman Britain

Seems like Miles Russell has written plenty of other texts:

Anyone read this book, or know anything more about the theory?
