"Jack Dixon creates a surreal landscape where the eerie sounds of a hundred pipes precede the Picts’ attacks
on a Roman
camp,
and phantoms tattooed with demonic symbols emerge silently out of the night to kill
their sleeping enemy.
The sounds of the bodhrán drums pulse throughout the book, leaving the
reader
wanting to know more
about the warriors who fought against the might
of the greatest empire on earth and prevailed.”
— Mary Simonsen, author of Searching for Pemberley
“A straightforward tale of heroism in an ancient, barbaric culture.”
— PODBRAM (Print on Demand Book Reviews and More)
“I suspect that many readers of The Pict will be left wanting more,
much more,
from this new novelist of historical fiction."
— Floyd Orr, on AuthorsDen.com
“A well-written book recommended for any fan of historical
fiction writers like Bernard Cornwell.”
— Michael S Katz, author of Shalom on the Range
“Jack Dixon has done an impressive job of writing an historical fiction piece that is highly readable, action filled, and evocative.
I believe anyone who enjoys ancient history should find this an interesting,
informative and entertaining work.
Congratulations to Mr. Dixon on a fine first novel.”
— Barry Yelton, author of Scarecrow in Gray
