Summary
The Roman Empire is on the brink of civil war. Only Maxentius, tyrant of Rome, stands between the emperor Constantine and supreme power in the west. Aurelius Castus, promoted from the ranks for valour, is now a tribune in Constantine's army. But as Constantine becomes increasingly devoted to Christianity, Castus is forced to ask himself whether he is backing the wrong man....
The coming war will decide the fate of empire, but also expose shadowy realms of treachery at the heart of Rome itself.

ordinary men and emperors
how many thousands died over one man's ambition or for two wanting the same. this is an excellent story of the soldiers fighting on both sides for control of Rome, narrated with great emotion delivering an experience of being in the age. a marvellous series also showing the rise of Christianity.

Wine Women, Song & Betrayal!
Another great book, our hero still has the luck of the gods.
Jonathan Keeble performs 100% as usual. I don't know how he finds the time?

Cactus the victor!
Superb story in series with great historical detail,unflinching depiction of battle and Castus' personal and professional journey. Rome brought to life and the life of Roman soldiers,if you are going to read only one series about Rome and the soldiers who served,make it this series.

Gritty
Thoroughly enjoyable once again. Narration excellent. Replete with battle scenes, gritty with the noise of rage, blood lust, death, defeat and victory.

Just brilliant!
And I thought Bernard Cornwall could not be surpassed!
It's infuriating when you have read all from your new favourite author and are looking around for something else. But to find Ian Ross has been so enjoyable and also to have Jonathan Keeble narrate the stories has been a joy!
Jonathan Keeble, what a performance!
And it is a superb performance. He brings all the characters to life with his interpretation.
So what next?
