Summary
Based on real historical events.
A time for vengeance. German frontier: Close to the Rhine, a Roman centurion, Lucius Tullus, prepares to take his soldiers on patrol. On the opposite side of the river, German tribes are resentful of the harsh taxes about to be imposed upon them. Suspicious that there might be unrest, Tullus knows that his men's survival will be determined not just by their training and discipline, but by his leadership.
A time for war. What neither Tullus nor his commander, Governor Varus, realise is that ranged against them is the charismatic chieftain and trusted ally of Rome, Arminius, who has long been plotting to drive the Romans from the tribal lands east of the Rhine.
A time to die. As Varus' legions prepare to leave their summer encampment, thousands of warriors - directed by Arminius - are massing nearby. Eager to throw off the Roman yoke, the tribesmen prepare a deadly ambush. Only the gods can save the Romans now....

Best Ever from Ben Kane
The narration of this story was first class, characters were clearly defined and brought to life. It was also a fascinating perspective based on true events with the fictionalised elements woven very neatly around the facts. Altogether an excellent listen made possible by a professional narration and an inventive imaginative Ben Kane

Even though I knew the ending it kept be listening to find out how and the detail added in that is then explained in the authors note is quite fascinating.

Excellent Roman historical fiction
Characters well developed. Story moves along well. Follows historical events well. This book had everything I need in a period story. Use of discovered artifacts in the storyline is a very nice touch. I bought the next book. For me, thats good praise.
I have dumped more than one series in mid-book because of ridiculous characters, repetitive tropes, complete changes of history and historical errors.
Well done.
