		Boudica would have the initiative, and with well over one hundred thousand \softline warriors at her call, that was very dangerous.
		\softline Boudica's route appeared to be heading directly for the Trent and Windubro, nobody on the \softline general staff could think of any reason why this should be, the queen's quarrel was with the \softline Romans and despite the destruction of the Ninth legion, they were still a very effective force.
		It was, reportedly, thirty miles to Boudica's camp, and forty by the route that the \softline Camelodians must take - south west on the main Windubron to Severn Station road, and cutting \softline off down the valley of the river Sence.

	Amazon.com: Boudica: Dreaming the Hound (Boudica Quadrilogy) (Boudica Trilogy): Books: Manda Scott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The native warrior Breaca of the Eceni tribe—called Boudica, "Bringer of Victory," for her valiant but failed attempt to repel the first century A.D. Roman invasion of Britannia—has fled in defeat with her followers to the west of the country to continue their resistance.
		Readers new to the Boudica saga may find the genealogy complicated and the going slow at first, but they will be rewarded with a heroic story of a rebellious warrior queen.
		Not for the squeamish ("Hound" culminates with a brutal torture of the Boudica and her family at the hands of a corrupt Roman -- one of the few historical events we actually know about, so there's no spoiler there), "Dreaming the Hound" is a wonderful exploration of pre-Roman Britain.

	Amazon.co.uk: Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle: Books: Manda Scott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dreaming the Eagle, the first volume of Manda Scott's "Boudica" sequence, is as much about establishing our sense of the issues at stake as it is about Breaca, the future Boadicea, herself.
		We are given a comprehensive and complex picture of pre-Roman British society--one which neither excludes the down-side of an aristocratic warrior society full of powerful mystics and touchy snobs nor regards it as significantly stranger or more primitive than the Romans these Celts are bound sooner or later to have to fight.
		This is a great book telling the story of boudica in the first part of this trilogy.
