About this listen

The Roman Empire is crumbling, and a shadow looms in the east....

376 AD: The Eastern Roman Empire is alone against the tide of barbarians swelling on her borders. Emperor Valens juggles the paltry border defenses to stave off invasion from the Goths north of the Danube. Meanwhile, in Constantinople, a pact between faith and politics spawns a lethal plot that will bring the dark and massive hordes from the east crashing down on these struggling borders. The fates conspire to see Numerius Vitellius Pavo, enslaved as a boy after the death of his legionary father, thrust into the limitanei, the border legions, just before they are sent to recapture the long-lost eastern Kingdom of Bosporus. He is cast into the jaws of this plot, so twisted that the survival of the entire Roman world hangs in the balance....

I like the story, the writing and the characters in this series but what takes away from it is the narrator and the production.

So many times in each chapter he puts the incorrect emphasis on the incorrect word or theres weird gaps mid sentence.

It’s so jarring that I stopped for a while because it was too frustrating to deal with. Honestly makes this a tough listen.

I really want to get the whole series but honestly if book 2 is like this I will have to drop it.

Great story, poor production.
