Reviews For Boudica and the Lost Roman

Boudica and the Lost Roman 5.0

Ripley brings it all to life – and, alas, to death – with his customary plotting skill and the quality of his writing.

Colin Dexter

Boudica and the Lost Roman 5.0

A sanguinary, rousing, rule-breaking historical novel.

The Literary Review

Boudica and the Lost Roman 5.0

Brutal, foul-mouthed, extraordinarily witty and leaves you thinking that this was exactly what Boudica’s rebellion was like.

Bernard Cornwell

Boudica and the Lost Roman 5.0

Ripley’s novels are as witty as they are deftly plotted…boisterous and inventive.

Phillip Kerr

Boudica and the Lost Roman 5.0

Brilliantly brings to life, with acerbic wit, the glory and corruption of Roman Britain.
