Author Ben Kane to appear in York

Author Ben Kane will be visiting York Roman Festival at Gray's Court, from 1pm on Saturday 29 May 2010.

His trilogy will soon be complete as "The Forgotten Legion" and "The Silver Eagle" are to be joined by a new novel "The Road to Rome".

His first book, "The Forgotten Legion", based on the lives of four people living in ancient Rome received very favourable reviews.

"Historical fiction has never been more visceral and engaging than Ben Kane's debut novel. Bloody, fast-paced, thrilling…what Wilbur Smith did for Egypt, Kane does for ancient Rome. Written in a cinematic style, Kane paints this lost world with such fervency that you'll swear you hear the thunder of the colisseum and the roar of the lions in the pit. Here is a masterful debut that shouldn't be missed!"
- James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Oracle

In the evening, Ben Kane will talk about his new book "The Road to Rome" prior to the Roman Auction. Book at Gray's Court for the Roman Auction. Price £5.
