Reviews

“History, passion and big business – an awesome combination, powerfully written.”

Trish Traynor

‘Westcott blows away the myth that Bath is the graveyard of ambition.’

Patrick McCloy

‘A masterly weaving of ambition and growing conscious both personally and publicly.’

Anna Jacka-Thomas

“A young man buffeted by world events is left reeling, but survives to build his own empire in Bath. The ancient city has seen it all and has her own cards to play...  Douglas Westcott writes from experience of the chaos of history, business, and wild passions in this gripping trilogy.”
