About this listen

Julius Caesar has been assassinated. A nation is in mourning. Revenge will be bloody... Rome's great hero has been brutally murdered by his most trusted allies. While these self-appointed Liberatores seek refuge in the senate, they have underestimated one man: Caesar's adopted son Octavian, a man whose name will echo through history as Augustus Caesar.

Uniting with his great rival Mark Antony, Octavian will stop at nothing to seek retribution and avenge his father's death. His greatest hatred is reserved for Brutus, Caesar's childhood friend and greatest ally, now leader of the conspirators. As the people take to the streets of Rome, the Liberatores must face their fate. Some flee the city; others will not escape mob justice. Not a single one will die a natural death. And the reckoning will come for Brutus on the sweeping battlefield at Philippi.

The epic fifth novel in Conn Iggulden's bestselling 'Emperor' series.

Superb book ruined by a dull narrator. I've listened to the whole series which has been fantastic, gripping and with lots of plots and intrigue. I would recommend that you either read this yourself or skip it all together as the narrative is that poor.

Would you try another book written by Conn Iggulden or narrated by Michael Healy?

Story fine but awful narration killed it for me. CL work on Rome is riveting but sadly no match for the cure for insomnia which is Micheal Healy.

What did you like best about this story?

The great insight and detail into Roman life.

How could the performance have been better?

By MH not turning up!

Do you think EMPEROR: The Blood of Gods, Book 5 (Unabridged) needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

There are many more Ceaser's so why not.

Bloody awful narration

The narrator was hugely disappointing and really spoilt the book for me. A couple of times I nearly gave up listening but as it was the last in the series I persevered. He was so bland, hardly any expression, in fact at one climax of the story, when he read" Engage and attack", it sounded like "fish and chips twice please." He had no personality and totally ruined my enjoyment of the book.

Great final book in the series. Shame about the narrator. Would rather do a 'Brutus' than listen to his dreary uninspiring voice again.

Great climax to the series
