The Imperial Governor - first US edition

by George Shipway

Filled with vivid battle sequences and excellent historical detail, this novel from an army officer turned writer presents the "memoirs" of the Roman General Suetonius Paulinus. Sent to Wales to capture the gold mines, Paulinus faces the fury of Queen Boudicca's tribes, all united against Nero's corrupt officials. It's a tale packed with fascinating detail of life in Roman Britain and in the Legions in particular.

Very collectible and difficult to locate in hard bound edition.

Jacket is NF, minor sunning to spine, price intact at $6.95.
