FRONTIER WOLF is the story of Alexios Flavius Aquila, (a descendant of Marcus of EAGLE OF THE NINTH), a young Centurion in the Roman Legions. After a tragic mistake that causes the loss of most of his men, he is sent up North, beyond the Wall, to command the irregular troops, the "Frontier Wolves". But though Alexios makes friends among the Wolves and tribesmen of the Votadini, his history seems to be repeating itself when the tribesmen rise in revolt and Alexios and his Wolves are forced to flee...I found FRONTIER WOLF to be another great book, and it has a happier ending than most of Sutcliff's bittersweet endings. The writing is excellent, the characters and their dilemmas gripping. To say more would be to spoil this wonderful book.
I have read Rosemary Sutcliff's books from my early years in school and have always liked her work. This is very typical of her writing. Good story, good characters, nice depth to the background and a good pace between characters and action. If you enjoy books on Roman Britain this is a good one.
The attention to detail really gives the reader a feel of what it may have been like during the Roman occupation of Britain. Quick paced, a great read!
Gripping.
