Terrific. Brilliantly plotted original story, grippingly told and cleverly combining the historical with the futuristic. It's a real edge- of-the seat read, genuinely hard to put down. - Sue Cook, writer and broadcaster I loved it! Intriguing, unusual and thought-provoking. Karen develops from a girl anyone of us could know into one of the toughest heroines I've read for a while. Roma Nova was a world I really wanted to visit--and not just to meet Conrad--vivid and compelling. A pacey, suspenseful thriller with a truly dreadful villain, I can't recommend INCEPTIO enough. - Kate Johnson, author of The UnTied Kingdom Tense, fast-paced and deliciously inventive, Alison Morton's INCEPTIOsoon had me turning the pages. Very Dashiell Hammett. - Victoria Lamb, author of The Queen's Secret Gripping. Alison Morton creates a fully realised world of what could have been. Breathtaking action, suspense, political intrigue... Inceptio is a tour de force! - Russell Whitfield, author of Gladiatrix and Roma Victrix

Author Information

Alison Morton writes award-winning thrillers featuring tough but compassionate heroines. Her ten-book Roma Nova series is set in an imaginary European country where a remnant of the Roman Empire has survived into the 21st century and is ruled by women who face conspiracy, revolution and heartache but use a sharp line in dialogue. The latest, EXSILIUM, plunges us back to the late 4th century, to the very foundation of Roma Nova. Six Roma Nova full-length novels have been awarded the BRAG Medallion. SUCCESSIO, AURELIA, INSURRECTIO and JULIA PRIMA have been selected as Historical Novel Society's Editors' Choices. AURELIA was a finalist in the HNS Indie Award. The Bookseller selected SUCCESSIO as Editor's Choice in its inaugural indie review. A 'Roman nut' since age 11, Alison has misspent decades clambering over Roman sites throughout Europe. She blends her fascination for Ancient Rome with six years' military service and a life of reading crime, historical and thriller fiction. On the way, she collected a BA in modern languages and an MA in history. She continues to blog about Romans and writing. Now she continues to write thrillers, cultivates a Roman herb garden and drinks wine in France with her husband.
