Story
AD 377: when Optio Numerius Vitellius Pavo and a select group of the XI Claudia are summoned to the Persian front, they leave Thracia behind, knowing little of what awaits them. They know only that they are to march into a burning land of strange gods. They whisper tales of the mighty Persian Savaran cavalry and pray to Mithras they will see their homes and families again. All too soon it becomes clear to them that this is no ordinary mission - indeed, the very fate of the empire might rest upon their efforts.

AD 377: Numerius Vitellius Pavo and the men of the XI Claudia return to Constantinople from their brutal Persian sortie to hear widespread tales of Thracia’s plight and the precarious mountain blockades. Each of them knows what is at stake should those passes fall: the heartland of the Eastern Empire would face the wrath of the barbarians and loved ones would be at the mercy of their savage blades.

Story
As twilight descends on the third century AD, the Roman Empire is but a shadow of its former self. Decades of usurping emperors, splinter kingdoms and savage wars have left the people beleaguered, the armies weary and the future uncertain. And into this chaos Emperor Diocletian steps, reforming the succession to allow for not one emperor to rule the world, but four. Meanwhile, two boys share a chance meeting in the great city of Treverorum as Diocletian's dream is announced to the imperial court.

Story
1315 BC: Tensions soar between the great powers of the Late Bronze Age. The Hittites stand toe-to-toe with Egypt, Assyria and Mycenaean Ahhiyawa, and war seems inevitable. More, the fierce Kaskan tribes - age-old enemies of the Hittites - amass at the northern borders. When Prince Hattu is born, it should be a rare joyous moment for all the Hittite people. But when the Goddess Ishtar comes to King Mursili in a dream, she warns that the boy is no blessing, telling of a dark future where he will stain Mursili’s throne with blood and bring destruction upon the world.

Publisher's Summary
Deep winter, AD 376: Emperor Valens has withdrawn the field armies from Moesia and Thracia to fight in the Persian War. The impoverished limitanei legions left behind to defend the banks of the River Danubius are now all that stand between the war-hungry Goths and heart of the Eastern Roman Empire.
For Numerius Vitellius Pavo and the men of the XI Claudia, the brief from Emperor Valens is simple: to avoid war with the Goths at all costs. But in the frozen lands north of the Danubius a dark legend, thought long dead, has risen again. The name is on the lips of every warrior in Gutthiuda: the one who will unite the tribes, the one whose armies will march upon the empire...The Viper!

Great Characters plus Action, Reaction and Gore
At this point, I’ve listened to 4 or Doherty’s novels from 2 series. In each case, they follow the same model- our hero civilization is consistently out thought and out maneuvered in battle after battle by the bad guys. Then at the very last second, some form of cavalry comes over the hill to save the very few of our brave warrior heroes left alive. Sometimes even that cavalry gets “Slaughtered” and has to be saved by the next wave of cavalry…. Rewind-repeat 3-4 times per book, until the final Earth shattering climactic battle.
I can’t believe I continue to buy these predictable audio books. But, I do because of the quality and character development of the half dozen or so key warriors. I like them. They are usually the smartest ones in the tent, but are countermanded by blithering political idiots who are in charge. These legends in their own minds get our heroes into all kinds of unsurvivable blunders. I also want to see how our good guys manage to time and again get away after the rank and file get “Butchered” by the bad guys.
Plus, each book is a history lesson. Maps and background materials are available on the author’s website. THAT is a model I wish more historical fiction writers should follow !
Start the Bronze or Legionary lead books. You may be surprised. Cheer for the good guys.

Psychotherapy in the Roman Army
I love Roman military fiction, give me a bone-crushing battle and I am happy. However, I returned this book because so many of the conversations between characters sounded like new-age therapy sessions. I just couldn't buy into Roman Legionaries talking about their feelings.
