The final part of Simon Scarrow and Tj Andrews's 'Warrior' series of novellas, and I now have a confession to make: whilst I have been reviewing each part individually, I actually read them all as one when they were published as a collected work (which may have made the 'intro' and 'outro' of each individual component more obvious).
Anyway, this actually breaks with the previous entries in that it did *not* start in Rome with the sub-plot of Caratacus recounting his experiences to a historian and hence possible bringing that historian some unwelcome attention, but instead picks up from where the last entry left off.
The main thrust of this particular story is also about a battle between the two main tribes of the Atrabates and the Catuvellaunians for control of the settlement of Lhandain, with Caratacus discovering there is a traitor in their midst but with that traitor - as the story ends - not yet unmasked.
Possibly for another series before/alongside the Roman invasion depicted in the Cato and Macro novels?

Bello, ma lascia l’amaro in bocca: non finisce! Forse i due autori hanno in mente di scrivere il seguito, ci sono troppi snodi narrativi lasciati volutamente aperti.
Per questo ho dato 3 stelle, pensavo fosse molto più autoconclusivo e sono rimasto deluso.

Brilliant
The continuing story of Caratacus, by the foremost storyteller of our times, I wait for the next booking this series with heightened anticipation.
