Dreaming the Eagle (Scott, Manda. Boudica Trilogy.)
Manda Scott
Dell, 2003
Beautifully written, credible and compelling ...
While sub-titled "A Novel of Boudica, the Warrior Queen," this book is as much about her brother, Bán. In fact, Breaca nic Graine doesn't become Boudica (She Who Brings Victory) until the final chapters. The book - the first in a quartet - covers the early years of her ...

Hen's Teeth
Manda Scott
Crimeline, 1999
Novels as good as this one are scarce as ...................
"Hen's Teeth" is a darned good novel. Scott is a fine craftsman of the written language: her evocative descriptions of animal life, of nature, of the world of science, and of human relationships is fresh and intriguing. The plot is complex and intellectual and ...

Boudica (Boudica 2)
Manda Scott
Bantam Books, 2005
Dreaming the Bull
This second book in the series is not as easy to read as the first. Perhaps it is because it deals more with Boudica's brother, Ban, (Valerius) that it was not quite what I was expecting. having stated that, it is necessary to read this book to fully understand what ...

The Crystal Skull
Manda Scott
Delacorte Press, 2008
Excellent Archaeology Thriller
Although I couldnt give this new novel five stars, I must say it really is an excellent and entertaining read. The idea of using the Crystal Skulls was different than most of the later Da Vinci Code/Art & Archaeology action thrillers we've seen in the past few years. ...

No Good Deed
Manda Scott
Bantam, 2003
My Good Deed
I met Manda Scott in a Bed and Breakfast this July in Durham, England. After I pried out of her the fact that she dumped a steady job to be a writer, she gave me a copy of her recent thriller, No Good Deed. I hereby fulfill my promise to write a review of her book!On ...

Dreaming the Bull
Manda Scott
Dell, 2008
Brilliant sequel
Like most intelligent authors whose jumping-off point is history, Scott has woven her magic around a fictional character, with whose fate an author can take more liberties. We see and understand Boudica and Co. in the light of the story of Ban (Valerius), her fictional ...

Dreaming the Serpent Spear: Boudica 4
Manda Scott
Knopf Canada, 2006
Magnificent
So, we have arrived at the final climatic novel of Scott's series. Having started with a touch too much fantasy in the opener the previous two efforts have been high quality and gripping. The pace, characterisation and emotive response doesn't let up in this final ...

Night Mares
Manda Scott
Crimeline, 1999
It's a veterinarian/horse-oriented mystery!
This was probably the best animal fiction I've ever read. As a breeder of horses, I found it riveting and impossible to put down. As did a friend of mine who is also a breeder. For someone not familiar with horses, and especially for someone not interested in ...
