Hadrian’s Legionaries

Praise for Alex Gough:

'A razor-sharp romp from Alex Gough. It's Rome, but like I've never seen it before. The Jackals are unforgettable: flawed, desperate, and absolutely lethal.' - Gordon Doherty

'Following an unlikely, yet engaging band of misfits, Hadrian's Jackals gallops along at the pace of an Imperial messenger, from the far east of the Roman Empire to the palaces and temples of the Eternal City. Alex Gough strikes the perfect balance of suspense, action and humour, all set against a detailed and thoroughly authentic historical setting.' - Matthew Harffy

'Roman Slow Horses? Brilliant! It's erudite and amusing at the same time, and the only problem with the book is the jealousy I'm feeling given I didn't think of such a great idea!' - Anthony Riches

'An exhilarating ride through Hadrian's Rome. Sometimes poignant, other times brutal, often hilarious, Gough has created a cast of characters that linger long in the memory and leave you rooting for them long after the last page has been turned.' - Adam Lofthouse

'Hadrian’s Jackals is my favorite thing, an adventure with a sense of humor. A combination caper story and political thriller with a setting in ancient Rome . . . I loved it.' - Damion Hunter

'Smart, darkly comical, and rich in detail' - Alison Morton

"A thoroughly enjoyable jaunt through the plots and machinations of Hadrian’s Reign with cast of gloriously entertaining misfits." - L. J. Trafford

'A bold and exciting recreation of the Roman world' Harry Sidebottom

'A compelling and admirably detailed opening act to what promises to be a truly epic saga.' Ian Ross

'Roman fiction has a new master in Alex Gough.' S. J. A. Turney

'A fascinating account of a complex and compelling man' Ruth Downie
