About this listen

The first volume in a thrilling new historical adventure series by Simon Turney, critically acclaimed author of Legion XXII and Sons of Rome.

58 AD, Rome. Agricola, teenage son of an impoverished yet distinguished noble family, has staked all his resources and reputation on a military career. His reward? A posting as tribune in the far-off northern province of Britannia.

Serving under renowned general Suetonius Paulinus, Agricola soon learns the brutality of life on the very edges of the empire, for the Celtic tribes of Britannia are far from vanquished.

As ever, Simon Turney does not disappoint! Couldn’t stop listening, fast paced but full of interesting characters especially the relationship between Agricola & his slave; Luci. Eagerly awaiting book 2 on audible.

Fantastic!

The story and writing - brilliant
The narrator feels…wrong. His tone for most of the voices sounds sneering and weak, for a lot of characters that are not meant to be so. I think that is just their voice though. Am a fan of the pace of reading though - a lot of other narrators speak far too slowly

Great take with the wrong narrator

Fast paced brilliant storytelling as ever, but the Kenneth Williams style narration almost made me give up listening 😬.. perfect speed of reading though, but sorry.. I found the characters unbelievable.. far too camp🤷‍♀️

This is my first book in this genre, and I enjoyed it very much. It was exciting and interesting, prompting me to research things I didn't know. The narrator was excellent. I can't wait for more of the same.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

An enjoyable historical fiction with engaging lead characters. Apologies to the narrator but some of the voices were just a bit too Kenneth Williams to take seriously.

Good, pacey stuff
