'With Goldsworthy's academic background, the historical accuracy of the novel is unquestioned. More impressive are the quality of the narrative and the complexity of the characters. More of an adventure novel than the usual sword-and-sandals epic ... A hugely enjoyable read by a master of non-fiction turned deft hand at Roman historical fiction' * Historical Novel Society * 'Goldsworthy really knows the past and makes it feel like you're living it' * Weekend Sport * 'Adrian Goldsworthy undoubtedly knows his stuff' * For Winter Nights * 'Praise the gods, Ferox returns in a novel of explosive action and profound authenticity. No one knows the Roman army better than Adrian Goldsworthy, and no one writes more convincing Roman fiction' -- Harry Sidebottom
