AD262 - the Imperium is in turmoil after the struggle for the throne. Furthermore, Ephesus, Asia's metropolis, lies in ruins, shattered by a mighty earthquake. Yet an even greater threat to the Empire advances from the North. The barbaric Goth tribes sail towards Ephesus, determined to pillage the city. Only Ballista, Warrior of Rome, knows the ways of the barbarians, and only he can defeat them.©2011 Dr Harry Sidebottom (P)2011 W F Howes Ltd Action & Adventure Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction War & Military Natural Disaster Rome

I have loved all this series of stories but this has that something "missing" that the others had. Felt the story meanders without any direction for a while but still can't wait for the next one

This is another brilliant addition to the series and I can't wait to listen the next one! I'm unsure what it says in the book, but the narrator's frog sounds are hilarious!

Amazing read; highly entertaining

This is the 4th in the series. After a good start they’re getting worse. I’m in the middle of chapter 8 - do I have the stamina to finish it? Yes, I will, but not because it’s good.
If you’re expecting blood and guts, or even a story about a Roman soldier/general, you’ll be disappointed.
If you want to know about ancient philosophers and what they said, or ancient gods or what happened to someone who fought at the battle of Troy, then you might like this.
I didn’t want a history lesson. I don’t want to learn Latin. I’m not enjoying it.

Rubbish
