Hell's Flood
Rome's protection has been withdrawn.
Britain’s underbelly is exposed.
The fourth, fifth and sixth novels of the acclaimed Dominic historical thriller series for the price of one.
The Winter War, The Slaughter Ground
and the Journeyman
The Winter War
The battle of Badon Hill has brought a transient peace to southern Britannia, but the land above Hadrian’s wall is simmering with unrest. Picts, Britons and recent Angle settlers have formed an uneasy alliance, but the treaty is fractured when the Hibernian king, Eochaid Mugmedón, sails to Britannia intent on vengeance. Destiny takes Dominic, Augustus, Tomas and Flint to the land between the walls and straight into the bitter grip of the fighting.
The Slaughter Ground
Petronius Maximus is the new emperor of the fragile Western Roman Empire. In an effort to gain favour and quieten the Roman mob, he finishes the restoration of the Flavium Ampitheatre (known today as the Colosseum). Furthermore, he will support and finance twelve days of gladiatorial contests and public executions, a spectacle intended to rival the infamous festivals of Claudius and Nero. One thousand miles away in a Britannia enjoying a transient peace, a group of five worthy men, all loyal to Arthur and with little interest in the affairs of Rome, work tirelessly to protect and scout their south-western peninsular. Then a visit to Londinium sets forth events which fragments the company, leading them all on separate journeys to the very heart of Rome. Veterans of Badon Hill, the Britons are no strangers to the degradation of war, but no past experience, no long-ago, witnessed horror, can prepare them for the Flavium Ampitheatre and its shameful games. With their unity destroyed, all become embroiled in a frantic struggle to survive the slaughter ground of Rome’s monstrous arena.
The Journeyman
A must read; a first person account of the Dominic chronicles, and more. Inspiring and charismatic, Augustus is a fifth century Briton dragged from a life of pastoral serenity. From butcher to journeyman to warrior, circumstance takes him into the very heart of the boiling conflict of war-torn Britannia, and beyond. In his own words, Augustus tells of his trials, his dilemmas, his agonising decisions, and ultimately his dreadful guilt. The Journeyman walks the reader in Augustus’ shoes through the incredible landscapes of Britannia, Europe and Rome.
