About this listen

It is 58 BC, and the mighty Tenth Legion, camped in Northern Italy, prepare for the arrival of the most notorious general in Roman history: Julius Caesar. Marcus Falerius Fronto, commander of the Tenth, is a career soldier and longtime companion of Caesar's.

Despite his desire for the simplicity of the military life, he cannot help but be drawn into intrigue and politics as Caesar engineers a motive to invade the lands of Gaul. Fronto is about to discover that politics can be as dangerous as battle, that old enemies can be trusted more than new friends, and that standing close to such a shining figure as Caesar, even the most ethical of men risk being burned.

While Julius Caesar is a well known figure, this monumental opening book to what will no doubt be an epic saga breaths life into his story in brutal fashion. Turney is able to create realistic, flawed yet likable characters like few others and when combined with an epic narrator, is just a great way to spend your time. Battles, blood and smooth flow. What more could you want from a Roman books?! If you like Ben Kane, Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwell or Anthony Riches then I highly recommend! 10/10

Amazing!

Ok… I admit there is little chance I could do better.
But the narration was boring.
The dialogue was distractingly awful.
Honestly, this was free and I wAs still tempted to return it for a refund.
I kept waiting for it to get better.

I think the story was ok… but… the rest?

Okay but not great. the narration the same. The characters just didn't enthrall for me.

A bit tiresome for mine, won't be continuing the series.

Plodding and ponderous.
