Britain in 60AD is divided into two major areas, the south east, which consisted of Roman Britain and the north which was now the nation of Camelod. This nation had grown rapidly from a small colony established by two Roman refugees, in 34AD. Over a quarter of a century Camelod has built a highly mobile army, and industries that make use of steam and water power. Although tiny by comparison with Rome, its' economy is strong.When Roman tax collectors took advantage of the death of the King of the Iceni (officially recognised as a 'Friend of Rome') to seize property, much of the wealth of the tribe, humiliate his Queen, Boudica and rape her teenage daughters before the assembled tribe, the Iceni rose and followed the raging Queen in an orgy of destruction vented on the cities of the Roman province.Camelod watched the rapid growth of the rising, and mobilised its army to take advantage of the chaos that is resulting in the south. Rome's occupation of Britain hangs in the balance.
Autorenporträt
Laurie Penman is a Mechanical Engineer who practised as a designer for two decades before becoming a clock maker and restorer in 1972. The change was the result of a long stay in hospital - and it was there that the idea of the Celtic Empire was born. There are four unpublished books written so far (and a fifth on the way), spread over more than a quarter of century, but in the meantime Laurie became known as a teacher of clock making, published several books on the subject, contributed to a couple of monthly column and constructed and operated a correspondence course. He moved to America in 2002 to take up a position with the American Watchmaker-Clockmaker Institute in Ohio. He lives with his wife of fifty two years, in Indiana
