Product Description

Product Description

AD367: Britannia. The Southern Provinces are shaken by the
most ferocious barbarian invasion in living memory. Marius, youngest member of
the Corinium council, is caught in a web of intrigue when it transpires that
the traitor masterminding the barbarian alliance is his parents' murderer, the
feared and hated Imperial Notary, Paulus Catena - The Chain...

...
This is part one of The Chronicles of Britannia, a tale of
heroism, loss, war and sacrifice as Rome's westernmost provinces are swept
inexorably to the very brink of the Dark Ages. . .
...
'Superb! A wickedly fast-moving storyline with bloodthirsty
action, nail-biting tension,
clever plotting and a strong sense of authenticity. Fans of
Scarrow, Iggulden and Sidebottom will love this - and so will aficionados of
Lindsey Davis' Falco series. Just brilliant.'
- Berks Historical Literature Review

 

Also by Scott Hunter on Amazon - 'The Trespass', best
selling archaeological thriller. Available NOW on Kindle.

The Serpent & the Slave is the beginning of a series of novels based in Roman occupied Britain during the 4th century.
At first I thought it was just another "Eagle of the Ninth", but the twists and plots kept me reading to see if the heroes would prevail.
Overall, it was a good story that picked up more towards the end, and I'll definitely be getting the rest of the series.
For the price I'd totally recommend it to people who enjoyed "Eagle" and also Simon Scarrow's Roman series.

The best historical fiction does not make you feel like you're reading about the past; The Serpent and The Slave evokes the lifestyle and quirks of living in Roman Britain in a way that makes it feel like you live there with the characters. Wonderfully descriptive, humorous and exciting, tackling the gore of the gladiatorial arena as well as the plight of the house slave, it is an excellent yarn. Don't rest on your laurels though- in true Hunter style there are surprises in store as the plot thickens..

Whereas the story line has it's interest it was just such a slow read and seemed to take forever to get anywhere. I got to the stage where I'd read a bit before picking up something else, then go back to it later just to give me the umph to keeping plowing through it.
