"""For anyone with even a passing interest in Dark Age Britain, put this book on 'ze list'. [A] highly enjoyable and engaging milestone.""-- ""Army Rumour Service"" ""For those interested in the history and myths from the Dark Ages, then this book will provide some fresh new ideas that are worth reading about.""-- ""Irregular Magazine"" ""Having read the author's previous book ""Arthur and the Fall of Roman Britain"" I was interested to see if this current book offered new insights or was a re-hash of the former. It certainly keeps to its objective of an historical narrative of the events of post Roman Britain and in particular the Saxon incursions. It provides good research on the variation of dates from the sources and in particular explains the 'stepping stone' date theory in a world not graced with common date systems. Inevitably given the sources and the distance in time there must be some element of informed opinion in pulling together the history but it works well to provide a thoroughly good read on what in other hands could have easily become a turgid and tiring work.""--Michael McCarthy, author & naturalist"
