Roman Retreat

by Griff Hosker Book 4 in the The Sword of Cartimandua series.

4.3(988)

Julius Agricola’s recall from Britannia leaves the northern frontier exposed before Roman control has been fully secured. Marcus’s Horse and their Batavian allies are expected to hold ground against renewed attacks from the Caledonian tribes while decisions made in Rome reduce the support available to men already stretched thin.

The military danger is worsened by treachery within the Roman system. Officers cannot assume that orders, reinforcements or even colleagues are trustworthy, and old enemies exploit the uncertainty. The novel follows cavalrymen forced to defend forts, roads and settlements during the uneasy transition from Agricola’s campaigns toward a more defensive Roman occupation of northern Britain.
