Description

Join Neil Perkins, Latin student at Haltwhistle Grammar School in England, as he uncovers a story of usurpation, treachery, and betrayal. After unearthing an ancient Roman manuscript, Neil dedicates himself to studying Latin and translates this exciting story from the third century . . . Disaffected centurion Rusticus serves Rome at Hadrian’s Wall, an unruly frontier. He is saved from massacre by Cadwal, a Celt who was deeply changed when he saw Christians martyred in the Roman Colosseum.

Readers will learn the differences between ancient paganism and the primal Christian faith practiced in third-century Britain by only a remnant. They, along with Neil, will begin a more thoughtful approach to life as they reckon with all they have learned.

"Hostage Lands by Douglas Bonds is an exciting story that also carries with it an entertaining and educational introduction to early Celtic and Roman history. Two adventures from different eras are woven together to present an enjoyable read."
Douglas Wilson

"When a modern-day English schoolboy happens upon an ancient Latin text, readers of Hostage Lands are transported back to third century Britain and into a tale of intrigue and adventure along the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.

"In this fast paced story, Douglas Bond brings ancient history to life. The plot is complex. The characters—both the winsome and the despicable—are multidimensional and thoroughly believable.

"Along with Roman Centurion Rusticus and his Celt friend, Cadwal, readers will grapple with questions of loyalty, honor, duty, and truth. Hostage Lands is an entertaining, instructive, thought provoking, and ultimately satisfying historical adventure."
Katy Johnson, curriculum development, Tacoma Public Schools

“Douglas Bond has done it again. This story will take your children to Hostage Lands, and at the same time set their imaginations free. And there's more- they just might learn a little history, a little of God's providence, and a lot of His mercy to His people.”
R. C. Sproul Jr.

"Enjoyable reading for anyone who likes a gripping adventure story, Hostage Lands will especially delight young students of the Latin language and of Roman history as they recognize a steady stream of terms and customs they've studied embedded in this fast paced tale."
Starr Meade, Latin teacher, Trinity Christian School, Mesa, AZ

“Amidst the sound of clashing swords, the shame of cowardice, and the tragedy of betrayal, readers will be see the transforming power of the faith once delivered. In Hostage Lands, Douglas Bond transports the reader to an epoch of fear, hatred and treachery—and of eternal hope. Get ready to experience the latter days of Roman glory, where martyrs stand against mayhem and a Lord rather than Legions, a Savoir rather than Caesars change the world. May He do so yet again!”
James M. McDonald
