Summary
Thrilling, authentic, and action packed, this novel introduces soldier hero Marcus Valerius: a centurion stationed on Hadrian's Wall in the second century during a revolt against the Roman Empire.
Marcus Valerius Aquila has scarcely landed in Britannia when he has to run for his life - condemned to dishonorable death by power-crazed emperor Commodus. The plan is to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall, and lie low until he can hope for justice. Then a rebel army sweeps down from the wastes north of the wall, and Marcus has to prove he's hard enough to lead a century in the front line of a brutal, violent war.

Well written book.
The author and reader is great at keeping the the suspense cooking just long enough.
There were a few times I was think, ‘come in man read faster, I want to know what happens!’
Looking forward to next book.

Richard Sharpe in Rome...
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Narrator is excellent, story is compelling, if a little predictable.
Any additional comments?
For anyone who has read and appreciated Bernard Cornwalls Sharpe series, then this should be for you. This is basically a more educated Richard Sharpe running around ancient Roman Britain.

I have listened to all the agents of Rome books and the parthian trilogies and I can truly say it is just as addictive as them all I will be looking forward to the next one brilliant.
