Amazon Review
The Druid King is another addition to this thriving post-Gladiator historical-action novel sub-genre. It is 60 BC and Julius Caesar has much of the world in his grasp as his armies march relentlessly onwards. Key to his strategy is the defeat of Gaul, but Caesar had not expected the resistance he faces from one man known as Vercingetorix, a great warrior who lived in exile after the death of his father and studied magic with the Druids of the forest. After becoming the sovereign he attempts to rouse the people of Gaul into an army to fight Caesar as the Emperor's army approaches. A Roman victory could secure Caesar the power he craves, but can Vercingetorix lead the people into battle or is it a fight they have no hope of winning?

Blending, history, myth and a dab of fantasy, The Druid King is a pacy, fun and engaging read that demands little in the way of prior historical knowledge but delivers plenty in terms of good story telling, human characters and plenty of action. --Jon Snow
