excellent first in the series
having worked my way through most of Bernard Cornwell's books, I've been looking for another sizeable, historically accurate fictional series to get stuck into and this is definitely it. On to the next one!!

Well read by Mr Glenister
If you like the Romans and especially Julius Caeser then you may enjoy this book as did I...from boyhood to ruler of an empire. There are some fictional bits but they kinda made it better to listen to, but this is admitted at the end 8 out of 10

Compelling
Very enjoyable. Great pace. Wish though he could have told the story through 1 or 2 narrators rather than everyone! That said, moving on to the next one immediately.

Enjoyable
Really enjoyed this, good story but excellent reading. Would’ve liked some of the historical background to be more factual and less fiction, but overall would highly recommend

Excellent Historical Fiction
This series weaves a detailed and believable story around major characters from the time of Julius Caesar and follows them as they move towards Caesars assassination as they grow and develop as people fighting personal as well as military battles along the way

Brilliant story, brilliantly told.
I loved this book.
the story was good and followed through a considerable period of a young Gaius Julius Caesar's life, and explains his bond/friendship with Brutus.
The narration is a little hesitant to begin with but, as the story progresses, becomes excellent and fluid.

Recommended by Bernard Cornwell
Since I enjoy Bernard Cornwell's books (though I've not read them all), I am ready to go with his recommendation.
However this story is less compelling that I am used to with Mr Cornwell, and I will be less enthusiastic if I see his recommendation again.

Fantastic
I read this when it was first published and rated it 5 stars as a novel. I t lost none of its power as an audio book. Highly recommended.
