When Roman legions march over the borders of the Empire they meet an enemy greater than any they have ever faced. Emperor Vespasian has ordered a push further into Germania than the legions have ever been, and an enemy army is gathering to meet them. What neither side is prepared for is the darker force that they will both face. Indiscriminate and incapable of mercy, the new enemy will drive the Romans to the very brink of destruction. The Gates of Hades have opened and the Roman Legions must face what has escaped.

The idea of a zombie apocalypse in the Roman Empire in the reign of Vespasian is a novel take on the genre. I rather liked the American narrator, when he narrated, the story flowed well, but wasn’t as imaginative as it could have been.
Here’s the big showstopper but...his attempts at British accents were simply awful, many sounded like posh idiots and the regional accents were even more grating.

Intriguing storyline awful British Accents

It is about what it states on the cover and doesn't do much more a fun listen

Great junk food book

If you could sum up Legion of the Undead in three words, what would they be?

Original, gripping, enjoyable

What did you like best about this story?

It's a great story and the author has obviously researched the period well. Because of the time period it is set in it is different to all the other zombie books I've been through.

What does Terry F. Self bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He brings all the characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I almost did listen to it all in one sitting. Had to take a break for some sleep though!

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone.

Great story brought to life by a great narrator!

A fantastic idea for the genre. Excellent writing makes this story flow very well and the pacing of the narrative is well done.
