Caledonii: Birth of a Celtic Nation 4: The Romans Invade

by Ian Hall

The year is 80 AD. The druid’s attempt to unite the clans failed. Calach has promised aid to the south if the Romans ever invade the Norlands. When the Roman Legion marches, he knows the clans must act together, and strike fast.
They ride south, but the reality of war catches them all by surprise. Calach must fight for his life amidst the fractional leadership.
This marks the beginning of the northern Pict resistance against the powerful Roman threat.

About the author

I am Scottish, born in Edinburgh, and spent the first 41 years of my life, not far from my fair and bonnie "Athens of the North".
I now live in Topeka, Kansas, with my wife (bless her), no pets (don't like 'em), no children (all moved out), and with many gallons of home-made wine bubbling as I write.
My biggest acheivement to date (apart from the successful parenting of my darling daughter) is my published novel; "Opportunities: Jamie Leith in Darien."
I'm not confined by genres, having equal success in Historical adventure, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror and hard hitting gritty crime.
I watch far too much football (Don't even think of calling it 'soccer'.) and at times chase a dimpled ball along carefully manicured countryside, with a collection of calibrated, graphite-shafted sticks.
I play guitar and sing in a folk/rock band, and would love to have enough money to tour the world's archeological sites until I'm too old to walk.
I love to write, and enjoy literary challenges of all kinds.
