Boudicca - Queen of Death - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Boudicca Queen of Death is an historically correct and often rip-roaring violent adventure from the incredible mind of the Count Ralph of Straet von Kollman who writes under the name of Ralph Harvey. This is most definitely not a book for the faint-hearted or those of a nervous disposition, yet as the savage blood spattered encounters unfold we also find that the story of Boudicca is often tinged with scenes of love and devotion which are seen to take place behind a backdrop of a beaten and subjugated people as they struggle to keep a degree of humanity about them in this era of barbarity. This is her true story, the rise and fall of the great Celtic Queen, Boudicca, who was legendary known as the Queen who won every battle… and lost the war. “…You have captured the atmosphere of the period and have entwined love scenes into the drama most skillfully, which together with the Arena and Bordello (scenes) breaks up what could have been a saga of sheer horror. The conclusions you have reached on the violation of Boudicca’s daughters and of her flogging are my sentiments also, and the fall of Verulanium so swiftly, I agree must have been treachery.” John.R. Eagle (Historical advisor to Ridley Scott on the film 'Gladiator'
