Could have been tightened up and plot was confusing in its different strands until everything finally came together. Maybe the heroine gave Ferox a run for his money but I just didn't like her. Was that she on the cover? This novel was Volume 3 of a trilogy; the ending just petered out as far as Ferox was concerned. He was a typical hero of this type of books except for his background: a superman who would miraculously have any wounds healed right away. The author did write well and he displayed his knowledge of history of that period. ( ) Ferox is asked to investigate the murder of an imperial freedman now working for the procurator. Is it linked to a series of thefts of collectible items related to the history of Britannia? More cloak and dagger stuff going on here as well as the battles but most of it pretty forgettable so I had to keep stopping to look back to work out what people were referring to.

From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, a profoundly authentic, action-packed adventure set in Roman Britain. AD 100: BRITANNIA. THE EDGE OF THE ROMAN WORLD. Flavius Ferox is the hardbitten centurion charged with keeping the peace on Britannia's frontier with the barbarian tribes of the north. Now he's been summoned to Londinium by the governor, but before he sets out an imperial freedman is found brutally murdered in a latrine at Vindolanda fort - and Ferox must find the killer. As he follows the trail, the murder leads him to plots against the empire and Rome itself, and an old foe gathering mysterious artefacts in the hope of working a great magic. Bandits, soldiers, and gladiators alike are trying to kill him, old friends turn traitor, and Ferox is lured reluctantly to the sinister haunts of the old druids on the isle of Mona, and the bitter power struggle among the Brigantes, the great tribe of the north...
