About this listen

Byzantium, 248 AD

Tarchon has nothing. His mother is dead, his father is absent, and he spends his days doing odd jobs–and the odd crime–on the tough streets of Byzantium.

But when an attempted robbery lands him in prison, he is approached by an organisation looking for resourceful, ambitious, young operatives. The rise of the Gothic King Cniva threatens the eastern Roman Empire and the Imperial Security Service is thinly stretched. Drawn by the promise of money, status and adventure, Tarchon sets out to prove himself and is tasked with increasingly difficult challenges. He is then sent north on his most crucial mission yet; only a successful outcome will earn him the coveted title, Agent of Rome.

Tarchon is a fantastic read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction, action, and adventure. With its fast-paced plot, engaging characters, and vivid setting, the novel is a real page-turner that will keep readers hooked from start to finish. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an immersive and exciting story that will transport them to another time and place.

Enjoying tge new characters and lots of scope to expand the story and characters. I really don't get why they added music. Needless and at ti.es an irritation. And it needed fading out quicker than it was. At times narrator over acted so to speak. just read the book - we are not at the theatre and this ain't a full dramatisation. In normal flow narrator is good.
look forward to the next book tho - just bin the music

overall good

A great story- hopefully the first in a series. Excellently narrated and with the atmospheric sound effects it made for a great listen
Highly recommend.

Brilliant

It was so disappointing when Cassius and his motley support team came to an end in the last book. However Nick Brown has pivoted well with a very different lead character in 3rd century Byzantium. Good story, well read and excellent start for this Spinoff.
