Angus Watson (born 4 September 1972) is a British novelist and journalist.[1][2] His epic fantasy trilogy set in the British Iron Age began in 2014 with Age of Iron.[3]Clash of Iron was released in March 2015 and Reign of Iron was released in September 2015. He is published by science fiction and fantasy imprint Orbit Books.


Watson lives in London with his wife Nicola and son Charlie.[4] He came up with the idea of writing a fantasy trilogy set in the Iron Age when exploring British hillforts for the Telegraph. As a freelance journalist Watson has worked for the Telegraph, the Times and the Financial Times, writing features which included looking for Bigfoot in the USA (Telegraph), swimming with sea lions off the Galapagos Islands (Times) and diving on the scuppered German World War One fleet at Scapa Flow (FT).[5]

The book was widely reviewed by the genre press and book bloggers.
