My husband (who normally hates historical novels) has been raving about the whole series for years, I finally had the time to read it about a month ago. Was really good.

I find that whole period just before Rome left Britain interesting. Must have been chaotic. I like chaos I s'pose!

Fenian, vort linked to the movie preview then gave the link for it to imdb.com just before my post in this thread. Long preview, loaded fast for me tho.
