A journalist by profession, Douglas Jackson transformed a lifelong fascination for Rome and the Romans in to his first two highly-praised novels, Caligula and Claudius. His third, Hero of Rome, introduced readers to a new series hero, Gaius Valerius Verrens. Eight further acclaimed 'Rome' novels followed, confirming Doug as one of the UK's foremost historical novelists. His latest novel, The Wall, was published to coincide with the 1900th anniversary of the construction of Hadrian's Wall. A member of the Historical Writers Association and the Historical Novel Society, Douglas Jackson lives near Stirling in Scotland.
Intrigue, murder, politics and plotting . . . it's a tour de force
that hits harder than a Pictish axe . . . cements his reputation as
not just one of Scotland's best historical fiction writers but one
of our best writers. Brilliantly researched and written, The Wall
is an all-conquering triumph from the first page to the last.
