About this listen

On a small estate just outside Rome in the first century BC, two boys become blood brothers, little imagining the extraordinary future that lies before them. As friends and rivals, Gaius and Marcus are destined to find lasting fame.

A pacey and well read story, action packed and based on some fact. Thoroughly recommended.

A really cracking yarn.

Very entertaining listen. If you like historical fiction (even if it does allow for a bit of licence to elaborate or gloss over a few details for the sake of keeping the storyline flowing) then you will love this book. The time passed in a flash and will definitely be downloading book 2. Great story.

Great Story of early Julius Caesar
