Ave Christoph and Volker,
Thank you both for your comments, welcome to the thread.
Christoph, I'm suprised that you don't count "Imperial Governor" as your all time favourite?
Volker, would you care to expand on your "albeit a bit dated" remark?
Here's what the back cover had to say about the book.
"The Roman, Lord of Britain
Britain in AD 59, a wild territory of warlike tribes and human sacrifices was reputed to be the possessor of untold mineral wealth.
The Roman Governor had one inflexible order: make Britain pay. Two women welcomed the Roman sword, each in her own way:
Cartimandua, lovely queen of the Brigantes, enticed the new governor into her chariot and then into her bed.
Boadicea - big-boned, a massive figure of a woman - incited the Iceni to rebellion and hacked her way through the Roman legions with armoured chariots."
Vale
