Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No dj. 288 pages. No dj. Review copy.Britannia is a land of forests - it is said a man can walk from the walls of Eboracum to the sou thern sea without leaving the shade of the greenwood - inhabited by wildcats, wolves and bears, as well as by the descendants of t he folk who built Stonehenge. Traversing the forests, linking the Roman cities, are the straight Roman roads on which solar-powere d aircars travel from the far north of Britain to expressways tha t link with London, Rome, Constantinople and beyond. In this wo rld Rome never fell to the Barbarians, the legions never left Bri tain and now, in the late twentieth century, Rome is the capital of a vast global civilisation. Outside Eboracum, (or York as we know it), and dominating the city, is the Battle Dome, a vast he misphere enclosing the artificial landscapes where the Games - as brutal, deadly and colourful as ever - are held. Here the destin ies of three young people come together when a jealous feud force s them to flee the Dome and take refuge in the forest. There, Vit i, Miranda, and Angus discover that the older Britain that has en dured for two millennia, where the assumptions of rational Romans and city-dwellers no longer apply. And it is there they find the y must learn new lessons about their world - if they are to survi ve. This first volume of A Land Fit for Heroes is a superb, lyr ical novel of cultures clashing in a wonderfully evoked alternate world, filled with magic, wonder and haunting sense of place.
