Reader reviews and ratings:
"AD411 by J. Patrick McAteer is a powerfully written story and you are immediately taken with the hero into the world of post-roman Britain. The hero is not the most charismatic of people but you are drawn into following his story by the powerful portrayal. There are a few clues, not many, as to where this story is going to lead and it brings a different slant on some often told myths from Britain’s past."
