"Refreshingly original, vividly engaging, suspenseful and action-packed from start to finish." - Amazon Review
An action-packed horror-thriller laced with dark, cynical humour and torturous cliffhangers as Britain faces what could very well be the very final chapter in its long and illustrious history.
Great Britain has produced its fair share of heroes, men and women who've fought bravely to protect and defend their nation. Boudicca was one of the first, a fierce warrior-queen who, in AD 61, united Britain’s tribes, and led them to glorious victories over the occupying Roman armies. During these great battles her hordes mercilessly killed around 100,000 legionaries and hung, burned or crucified their prisoners.Two thousand years later, those same Roman soldiers are back, emerging from their graves with an insatiable desire for vengeance, and a ravenous thirst for blood.
When traditional weapons fail to destroy them, a new generation of heroes must rise and step forward; ordinary people, with extraordinary skills, willing to risk their lives in a battle against the living and the dead. They have just hours to uncover a secret that has been hidden for nearly two millennia, and recover the one relic that can send this invincible zombie army back to hell. If they fail, they will be the last heroes Britain will ever have, because the nation’s history will come to a devastating and cataclysmic end.
Every minute counts in this highly entertaining, fast-paced action thriller, full of engaging characters and a relentless stream of tortuous cliffhangers that will keep you thoroughly engaged until its breathtaking and truly devastating finale. You will find it hard to put this book down and will be left desperate to read the next Britannia novel.

Synopsis
In the course of a robbery, a pair of small time criminals take a hostage. This hostage soon turns out to be much more than expected and could hold the key to a big score. But as things begin to spin out of control, it becomes clear that nothing is as simple as it first appeared. And they may literally be on the road to hell.
It never rains in the tiny desert town of Dos Hermanos, California ... never. Until today, when the sky opens up and it starts to rain ... and will not STOP. For the next 24 hours, the 3,071 residents struggle just to stay alive as the town dissolves around them. And then THINGS start to come out of the rain -- eyeless, skinless creatures, all bones and talons, with a violent hatred of every living thing and a bottomless, unquenchable thirst. An exiled programmer and his street-addict daughter, his desperately unhappy ex-wife, two scientists -- one mad and one just mean -- and a waitress/stripper with a strange power all her own will each confront the creatures and the storm itself, fighting just to live through the next three days. And meanwhile the creatures keep coming -- a thousand different shapes and sizes, some as small as a golf ball made from razors, some as large as a mountain made of claws. And they all share a single desire: the death of anything remotely human. Some will become heroes; some will go mad. And a small handful of survivors will try to stop the impossible, ongoing creation of the monsters before it breaks out of the remote village and kills the whole world. Who will live? Who will die? And who will learn the secret waiting in The Rain? Find out in a a novel of supernatural adventure and suspense -- a story of disaster and survival ... with monsters.
