We are joined by Michael Arnold, author of The Savage Isle and now the sequel, The River Warriors –Britannia, 42AD.
The wild island at the fringe of the known world is in chaos. He has a great way of bringing the English Civil War to life … Back this up with great prose, magical pace and of course a lead character that you love to spend time around makes this a series that is not only a pure joy to read but a wonderful piece of escapism from the real world.
