Author's Biography

Alistair Forrest decided to be a writer when his teacher ticked him off for being too descriptive in an essay on Macbeth. Quietly defiant, he embarked on a successful career in journalism. In 2004, he moved to Spain and started writing Libertas.

Reviews

“… Libertas is a good read: pacy, exciting and often funny. Forrest makes us care about Munda.” The Historical Novels Review

“Forrest has the gift of the true story teller – the ability to engage his readers’ interest from the very first sentence.” Sir Patrick Cormack, FSA, MP

“… a fast-moving tale of fortitude, survival and eventual retribution told against the background of Rome’s bloody civil war.” Doug Jackson, best-selling author of Caligula
