Summary

It is 58 BC, and the mighty Tenth Legion, camped in Northern Italy, prepare for the arrival of the most notorious general in Roman history: Julius Caesar. Marcus Falerius Fronto, commander of the Tenth, is a career soldier and longtime companion of Caesar's.

Despite his desire for the simplicity of the military life, he cannot help but be drawn into intrigue and politics as Caesar engineers a motive to invade the lands of Gaul. Fronto is about to discover that politics can be as dangerous as battle, that old enemies can be trusted more than new friends, and that standing close to such a shining figure as Caesar, even the most ethical of men risk being burned.

Superb Story Telling

Firstly let me say that I am an ardent Simon Scarrow fan. I find it difficult to listen to other authors work. That was, until I found this book ! The story and presentation were up to anything I have listened to on Audible before I normally listen at night but I have found myself sneaking quick bursts of story during the daytime as well. Now I have two very talented authors to follow. I recommend this title to anyone wanting to follow the exploits of the Roman Legions. This presentation is only book 1 in the series. I will certainly listen to more

Great book, great performance

Malk Williams gives life and character to SJA Turney's Roman world. You can practically smell the blood and sweat, taste the dreadful wine, and hear the bellowing of the centurions.

Absolutely fascinating!

That is the first book by this author that I have listened to and I was captivated from beginning to end by the historical events and by the variety of interesting characters depicted.

Overall a great book and performance

A really good book well performed my only real critique is the mispronunciation of a few of the names.
Can’t wait to get stuck in to the next book.

A really good old fashioned rip roaring adventure

Full of details, but still a great read, or lists

Believable characters, with well written, though bloody, battles.
