Critic reviews

To read one of Ben Kane's astonishingly well-researched, bestselling novels is to know that you are, historically speaking, in safe hands. (Elizabeth Buchan)
Fascinating. (Antonia Senior)
This is a stunningly visual and powerful read: Kane's power of description is second to none... Perfect for anyone who is suffering from Game of Thrones withdrawal symptoms. (Helena Gumley-Mason)

If only you had been my history teacher at school, I may have actually earned at least one GSE.....

Ben Kane writes books that are compelling, informative and entertaining. The characters he creates transport you back in time to witness the historic events unfolding. Ben's attention to the details of life at the time makes reading his books an immersive experience. The Falling Sword is another great Ben Kane book that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Great story, great characters.

a great story which brings ancient history to life due to the balance of real historical characters and sub plots of ordinary soldiers. Great narration too, this helped bring the story to life.

Gripping, from start to finish.
