Rome's protection has been withdrawn. Britain’s underbelly is exposed. The Saxons have conquered South East Britannia, but the lands further west have always eluded them. Repeatedly, they attempt to break Arthur’s dominance of the West Country, but to no avail. Arthur and his stronghold of Brythonfort are a breakwater upon which the Saxon threat always falters. But now things are different; now they have forged an alliance with a rogue British tribe and the ruthless Guertepir; now they are able to attack in greater numbers and draw Arthur from his bastion. Their immediate goal is the restored spa town of Aquae Sulis. Above the town, the high ground of Badon Hill awaits. Here, the conflict will forge the destiny of Britannia.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quick Alive History of a Roman Conquest
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2014

This book pulled together some great history about an extremely powerful event that impacted the world. The story covers the second
Roman invasion of Britain, years after Julius Caesar's first attempt to bring Roman civilization to a land of barbarians. We see how the Romans made a province from a land wildly opposed to their presence in the land. We follow some fictional Roman soldiers, some fictional barbarians (British, Celtic, Germanic) and meet some real live historically significant people. We meet the British tribal chiefs who try to fight off the Romans. We meet the Roman leaders and invasion planners. We find ourselves in the midst of bloody fights, marching in the rain and mud of a British summer and fall. We learn about the Roman tactics that forged an empire. We learn why the tough brave Brits lost to numerically less troops. We learn a lot about life in 43 - 45 AD. We watch the Romans kill women and children along with the British warriors and we watch Druids disembowel captured Romans. We see how the Romans take care of their own disabled veterans (compare to today).
It was hard for me to put the book down. It moves fast, with the battle descriptions being excellent and the characters both real and fictional being the heroes we want to care about. I recommend it for those who love tales of old, real history and a rollicking good adventure story.

This is an interesting account of many historical figures and their friends in those days of war, deceit and death. A good tale of blood, friendships the hell of battles.

Another interesting and informative book about that time in history we called the Dark Ages. After reading this book I now understand that the term Dark

This was a good book to learn more about the Dark
Ages, the time that left Europe empty of leadership after the Romans left. There was much jockeying to fill that space. It was a violent time. It helps us understand what is going on in the Middle East today after the Ottoman empire dissolved. History keeps repeating itself. It takes longer than we think.

Not a bad read. Held my interest for the most part. Like the Game of Thrones everybody dies. Maybe it is because I saw the movie Arthur which portrayed the battle differently and I was expecting something different.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart-stopping read
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014

I was sorry this series ended. Last fall I read Dominic's Quest without reading the first book, The Red and Savage Tongue. So I got the first one, and reread the second one (Dominic's Quest) and then the final one, Badon Hill. This is an exceptional author and love the writing. I got totally involved with the characters in this series. I would like to see this continue, but I fear this is the end of Dominic's story. It was a thriller filled with sadness, agony, heart-stopping suspense, outrage - it pushed every emotion possible and couldn't wait to return to the story. I noted this author doesn't have any other books available, so I'm guessing this is the first, and what a future this author has, and what a fan I have become. PLEASE continue on, whether it's with Dominic or other characters. Your writing is superb.

good period piece, lots of charaters and the first few chapters seem to be a jumble of different folks who I am not sure fit it later; however, I like this read and find this period of history facinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great somewhat historical fiction
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
Great somewhat historical fiction. It's based loosely on arthurian legend, which is fine. Most of us would see Camelot and all of that as nice fantasy but it's a great place to start to create a gripping and entertaining tale about events which probably did happen in dark ages Britain. I liked his characters who display heroism with a human side and I was captivated to the end. I don't think this author gets his due, I've read much worse from better known writers. I'm disappointed that I can't seem to find more by him.

I thought this was the end ,but this is more about Dominic than Arthur it would be great to follow the next book in 2015 as this was an exciting version of the battle of Badon Hill.

I wasn't so impressed by this. I think he lacks the descriptive detail that brings alive historical fiction and allows you to be immersed in the story.
