The first book in the epic Masters of Rome series.

Rome. 110BC. A city which is home to Gaius Marius, prosperous but lowborn, a proud and disciplined soldier emboldened by his shrewdness and self-made wealth. It is also home to Lucius Cornelius Sulla, a handsome young aristocrat corrupted by powerty, a shameless pleasure seeker.

Two men of extraordinary vision, men of ruthless ambition, both blessed and cursed by the special favour of Fortune. men fated to lay the foundations of the most awesome empire ever known, and to play out a mighty struggle for power and glory - for Marius and Sulla share a formidable ambition: to become First Man in Rome.

The author's narrative flows as easily as Father tiber . . . A grandly meaty historical novel . . . rich with gracefully integrated research and thundering to the beat of marching roman legions

I am always sceptical about second books when I have really enjoyed the first. Often they disappoint. This one didn't. It exceeded all expectations. A joy to read. Bring on the next one.

I really good second book.

Despite the quite poor previous reviews I risked to purchase the book. Especially since the part 1 was already finished and the interest in the story was roused. I can only agree with my fellow audible members - the editing quality is extremely poor. The text repeats itself from time to time, which is very confusing and frustrating as the story line gets lost and the listener gets a kind of deja vu feeling. It is strange that after numerous reviews specifically pointing out the quality issues, nothing has been done. The price of the book is considerable, so one would expect a respective quality.
All in all - the story is great, the characters are well presented and give the reader an educational as well as literary insight in Rome`s society and political structure. Despite the quality issues certainly recommended for the ones interested in that period of our past.

Great story, poor editing

A superb story extremely well told. I’ve read it twice and it lost nothing in the audible form. Other reviewers are absolutely entitled to their opinion. I found nothing in the narration to criticise. Far from it; the narrator did an excellent job and gave the characters an individuality that I enjoyed and admired. I love this book and bought it from Audible prepared to be disappointed. Quite the opposite happened. It was fabulous. Please, Audible, may we have more ‘Masters of Rome’.

A excellent telling of a brilliant book

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Super first book but the second has been badly let down by a shocking editor. And of course it is useless to read the first without the second being available to enjoy.
What is most annoying is that I had seen the poor reviews of the second book and so had contacted Audible to assure myself that the problem had been corrected before purchasing it.
Well I can assure you that the problem remains.

Any additional comments?

Action Audible! And fast or your reputation will sink as will your sales.

A most annoyed customer.
