“If you’re looking for a novel with a difference, that combines time travel with 'computer generated' game play and 'real life' action, that educates as it entertains… you may well have found it.”
The Taexali Game will appeal to readers from early teens onwards who are interested in adventure fiction set in Roman Britain.
