Why read it?
1 author picked Hero of Rome as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another book that inspires a strong memory of where I was when I read it. This time I was on a winter holiday in Scotland with my family and certain scenes are burned into my mind, so expertly were they written. This novel has a superb hero, great setting in Roman Britain, and the legendary warrior-queen, Boudicca. What more could you ask for? Hero of Rome is full of action and adventure and kicks off an excellent series that really doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
From Steven's list on what you should read after Steven A. McKay's The Druid.
