About this listen

Two emperors - one must fall

Marcus Aquila and his patron Rutlius Scaurus have fought a superior enemy force to a standstill in Thracia, gaining the favour of the gods but paying a grievous cost in their family's blood.
Battle-weary and mourning their losses, they are tasked with rooting out a spy ring operating in the lands into which their imperial master Severus's armies are advancing.

Hunting down informers operating under the skilled and ruthless command of their sworn enemy Sartorius, spymaster to the usurper Niger, will not be easy. But the potential to turn his intelligence network, and thereby deceive and distract the enemy, might land a war-winning blow on the army of the east.

The quest to find and subvert their foes' informers will place the two friends at great risk, with torture and death the price of any mistake. While success will put them in the front rank of a bitter battle against battle hardened legions, hungry for revenge, in a bloody struggle to determine the fate of Asia's loyalty.

And Scaurus is a man with a powerful threat still hanging over him, a curse imploring the gods to fell him at the very moment of his greatest victory.

RIP Saul R- your narration will be sorely missed in this series, you brought these characters to life, gave them unique and believable voices. unfortunately the new narrator has not been able to take over, the characters sound the same, its hard to tell when a new character is speaking and it took away my enjoyment of a series I have so far loved

not a fan of the new narrator

I have really enjoyed the series and the stories but this is the first audible reading I have been really disappointed in. Lack luster reading. Bring back Saul Reichlin

Good story - lack luster reading

excellent story as ever from Anthony Riches however it is difficult to follow the narrative in places as the new narrator does not differentiate between character and they all seem to come from south London, even the Harmians and Dacians. Hopefully if he stays as the narrator for the series he can work on this.

shame about the narrator

I absolutely love reading this series however I tried a audio book of this title and with the greatest respect I just couldn't follow the narration.

Great book series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Another good story but the narrator has all the characters sounding the same, which is very disappointing.

Poor Narrator
