Reviews for Romanitas
Perfectly fuses the hope and horror of ancient Rome with that of the modern world
Daniel Godfrey, author of New Pompeii
This is a magnificent series
Adrian Tchaikovsky
Epic in undertaking, Romanitas creates a fascinating world that is both contemporary in tone, and yet about as far removed from the world we live in as it is possible to imagine. McDougall's writing style is fresh and light, and the involving story ensures you'll gobble up the 400 pages in no time, staying eager to find out how the remainder of the trilogy unfolds
Dreamwatch
Wonderful alt history, beautiful, heart-breaking, sweeping, surprising
Lauren Beukes
Compulsively readable . . . grips like a vice
SFX
An enjoyable smart yarn with some real sense of human pain
