<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4112563, member: 110350&quot;]I just finished reading a novel by Robert Low (author of the <i>Whale Road</i> series of books about Vikings) entitled <i>Beasts Beyond the Wall</i>.&nbsp; See <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43299329-beasts-beyond-the-wall" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43299329-beasts-beyond-the-wall" rel="nofollow">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43299329-beasts-beyond-the-wall</a>. It&#039;s about a band of ex-gladiators sent on a dangerous mission &quot;beyond the wall&quot; into Caledonia in the 3rd Century CE.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s nothing new, but I found it very entertaining.&nbsp; No fewer than five different emperors or future emperors are characters in the book!&nbsp; It&#039;s the first book in a trilogy, all apparently published last year, and I&#039;ve already gone ahead and ordered the second book. The first one costs $0.99 as an ebook, the other two cost $5.39 each in the same format.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also ordered <i>Circe</i>, by Madeline Miller, based on the recommendations here and being favorably impressed with the first couple of chapters, which I read as a free preview on Amazon.&nbsp; Even though I wouldn&#039;t call it historical fiction![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
