Editor reviews
This audiobook by Howard Fast, the renowned author of Spartacus and Communist sympathizer who was jailed for standing up to the House Un-American Activities Committee is historically based in the Rome of 100 years after Spartacus. This is a time of squashed revolution among the Jewish people. It follows Berenice the daughter of Herod Agrippa, a Jewish client Queen of the Roman province of Judea who had a relationship with Titus Flavius, emperor of the Rome that destroyed the second temple and persecuted the Jews. Susannah Tyrell gives a dramatic, distinguished performance of the material. Her slight British accent and graceful elocution bringing the listener into this opulent story.
Summary
Bestselling author Howard Fast's riveting portrait of Israel's strong and beautiful Queen Berenice, whose life story is one of the ancient world's greatest romances. Throughout her rule in the first century AD, Queen Berenice is idolized by some, and hated by others. Though her fiery red hair makes her instantly recognizable, it is her mysterious charm and steely will that make her unforgettable. The daughter of Israel's King Agrippa I, Berenice is determined to free the kingdom of Israel from the shadow of the Roman Empire. But her plans are derailed after her husband, Shimeon, dies during a bloody civil war. When Berenice falls in love with Titus, son of the Roman Emperor, they devise an impossible plan to join the ruling lines of Rome and Israel.
A master of gripping historical fiction, Howard Fast brings the ancient world to vivid life in this enthralling, epic drama.

Great story, dreadful narration
I only listened as it was a good story, but it would have been so much better written by a man and not this awful slimy voiced woman.
