My thanks to the kind people at Macmillan for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Saxon: The Book of Dreams (Saxon 1) by Tim Severin]].
Those who enjoy a military aspect in their historical fiction might like Sam Barone's [[Dawn of Empire]] which talks about the building of the first walled city. You might appreciate [[Soldier of Fortune by Edward Marston]] but we had reservations.
