<p>A sweeping historic tale of a half-Roman, half-Briton scout known as Marcus to his Roman friends and colleagues, and Uffin to his mother and family. Speaking both Latin and Brittonic, Marcus travels freely north of Hadrian's Wall, trading with tribes-folk but reporting to his Roman masters. During one such trip, he is mistakenly accused of murdering his commanding officer and sentenced to serve his life out in the lead mines. Escaping with a female slave and aided by a highly respected Druid, Marcus crosses the Wall and hides among the many tribes beyond the yoke of Rome. Back at Housesteads, the large Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, troops are gathering for an incursion north. The magnificent 9th Legion is proposing to teach these unruly tribes a lesson in submission. The Druids present Marcus Uffin as their figurehead to lead the tribes while the might of Rome marches to subjugate this ragtag collection of primitives. Or, perhaps, there is a different lesson to be learned. A discussion guide is included in this book.</p>

<p>In the 2nd Century AD, Rome's Ninth Legion was sent to Hadrian's Wall in northwest Britain to quell an insurrection. They were never heard from again. Historians have speculated for centuries about what happened - THE LAST FREE MEN presents one intriguing possibility as seen through the eyes of Marcus Gettorix, son of a Roman general and a British woman. Marcus is an undercover scout for the Romans, but during a battle he is captured and sentenced to work in the mines with the rest of the native prisoners. The Druids act to use Marcus as a figurehead to fan the flames of resentment into an insurrection that joins British and Scottish tribes against the Romans. Now allied with the Druids, Marcus lures the ambitious Roman general in charge of the Ninth Legion into a deadly trap destined to create one of history's greatest mysteries.</p>
