Story
Arthur Wesley (the future Duke of Wellington) was born and bred to be a leader. With a firm belief that the nation must be led by a king, the red-coated British officer heads for battle against the French Republic, to restore the fallen monarchy. Napoleon Bonaparte joins the French military on the eve of the Revolution. He believes leadership is won by merit, not by noble birth. When anarchy explodes in Paris, he's thrust into the revolutionary army poised to march against Britain.

Story
The first novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Roman series. It is 42 AD, and Quintus Licinius Cato has just arrived in Germany as a new recruit to the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. If adjusting to the rigours of military life isn't difficult enough for the bookish young man, he also has to contend with the disgust of his colleagues when, because of his imperial connections, he is appointed a rank above them.

Story
The Romans invaded Britannia in AD 43 confident of victory. They swept through a divided and ill-equipped enemy, scattered across tough terrain. But one man was not prepared to surrender. Caratacus - quick-witted youngest son of a a tribal king - had been trained from birth to be a warrior of power and grit. Sent to be schooled by the Druids in his boyhood, his training meant that an already strong and cunning prince returned to his father's kingdom as a war machine.

Story
When young Telemachus gets the chance to join the crew of the merchant ship Selene, he's delighted to escape the rough streets of Piraeus. He knows little of the dangers of life at sea. And even past hardship has not prepared him for the terror on board when a pirate ship appears on the horizon. The fight is bloody, but the result is never in doubt. Then the victorious pirate chief, Bulla, offers the beaten men a cruel choice: join us, or die.

Publisher's Summary
The Fields of Death is the epic final novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Wellington and Napoleon Quartet. Essential listening for fans of Bernard Cornwell.
1809. Viscount Wellington and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte have made their mark as military commanders. Lifelong enemies, they both believe their armies are strong enough to destroy any rival. But in war victory can never be certain.
While Wellington's success continues in Spain, Napoleon feels the sting of failure. Yet despite a disastrous Russian campaign and humiliating defeat at Leipzig, he persists in fighting on.
With Napoleon's power waning, the newly titled Duke of Wellington is perfectly placed to crush the tyrant. But his enemy refuses to surrender, and so the two giants must face a final reckoning on the bloody battlefield of Waterloo....

not too bad
gave the story a 4 star because for some stupid reason I was hoping Sharpe would make an appearance, yes, a Richard was mentioned, but he was a Major. But I still enjoyed the story even though I knew how it would end.

Fantastic Ending.
The fourth book completed the saga brilliantly. not concentrating too much on Waterloo which would have been easy to do. beautifully written and well read.

tedious but i couldn't stop
i listened to all 4 books within a few weeks and all i can say is thank the goddess that Jonathon Keeble wss brilliant as narrator otherwise i wouldn't have bothered.
it was a long and drawn out series....it had me bored to tears...but i just couldn't stop listening.
i came to 4 conclusions by the end...Napoleon was an brilliant arsehole....Arthur was a prick for marrying Kitty...Kitty was stupid for wasting her life waiting for Arthur...and I'm in love with Arthur 😏

Brilliantly written and performed.
A brilliantly written and detailed series accounting an epic part of history from the perspective of the two greatest generals of the time.
From childhood through to the ultimate confrontation and conclusion. Not word is wasted nor an important detail missed in this fast paced epic series that puts the reader/listener into the minds and mindsets of these two men that etched in stone, their names into the historical record.
Jonathan Keeble’s delivery is impeccable throughout, he is a true master of vocal characterisations and accents as well of pace and tone.
A must read epic series.
