A review by traveller1
Island of Ghosts by Gillian Bradshaw

3.0

My first Bradshaw, and not half bad. A barbarian prince, in the time of Marcus Aurelius, is despatched to Hadrian's Wall with his men. Adventure and trouble ensues. In the end the attempted rebellion is crushed and the good guys (including out protagonist) are rewarded.

I found this an enjoyable and fun read, but not overly engaging. There seemed few surprises, good guys v bad guys. Very little grit. Or maybe I am just getting old and cynical?
