About this listen

Flavius Ferox is the hard-bitten centurion charged with keeping the peace on Britannia's frontier with the barbarian tribes of the north. Now he's been summoned to Londinium by the governor, but before he sets out an imperial freedman is found brutally murdered in a latrine at Vindolanda fort. Ferox must find the killer. As he follows the trail, the murder leads him to plots against the empire and Rome itself. Bandits, soldiers and gladiators alike are trying to kill him, old friends turn traitor, and Ferox is lured reluctantly to the sinister haunts of the old druids on the isle of Mona.

Critic reviews

"An instant classic of the genre." (Harry Sidebottom)

I’ve enjoyed the whole Vindolanda trilogy and can’t wait for the new one to come out next year!

The historical detail is fabulous and you can tell Adrian is an expert on the Roman army with the battle scenes being richly described. I recommend you don’t attempt to listen whilst eating dinner!

Ferox is a great hero and this book really explores his dual heritage as a Roman is centurion and a Prince of the British tribe he left behind. His ill fated love interest takes a different twist as we follow him into more Druid magic, tribal conflict and naturally an epic battle along with his loyal friends.

Peter is a great choice as narrator and really brings the story to life. A great listen and a Roman epic to savour.

Very enjoyable third book in this series and I hope there will be at least a fourth book so we can find out if Ferox makes peace with his demons and finds happiness at last.
I really liked the series and this book which is, like the previous two, well plotted with engaging, interesting characters who are all too human and very relatable. Don't delay - order the third book - if you have got this far you must want to know what happens to the Ferox and his friends. Funny and gripping in turns.

Now we have to wait for book 4

Once again Peter Noble does an amazing job in giving life to these characters. Goldsworthy's knowledge is clearly shown through his writing and I'm all for it.

Almost as good as it's predecessors.
