A wonderful performance by Robert Glenister. He brings the storyline and the characters to life. I appreciate, too, the care that he takes in the pronunciation of the Latin names and terms.

A Masterful Performance

This, to my opinion is an excellent book. The whole Emperor series, which I read years ago now, was one of his best. Julius Caesar, Brutus, Pompey the Great, a very young Octavian, Spartacus and the slave army are all here. Action galore, intrigue, assassination it is all here and presented to us in a very readable format, not easy to put my iPad down for long. Have just acquired book 3 in the series, I cannot wait to get started
Excellent, clear narration

Conn Iggulden at his best
