About this listen
"A master of the genre." (The Times)
The ninth novel in the thrilling Empire sequence leads Centurion Marcus Aquila and the Tungrians to the battlefield that was one of Rome's most disastrous defeats.
The Tungrians have no sooner returned to Rome than they find themselves tasked with a very different mission from their desperate exploits in Parthia. Ordered to cross the river Rhenus into barbarian Germany and capture a tribal priestess who may be the most dangerous person on the empire's northern border, they are soon subject to the machinations of an old enemy who will stop at nothing to sabotage their plans before they have even set foot on the river's eastern bank.
But after their Roman enemy is neutralised, they face a challenge greater still. With two of the Bructeri tribe's greatest treasures in their hands, they must regain Roman territory by crossing the unforgiving wilderness that was the graveyard of Roman imperial strategy 200 years before. And capture by the Bructeri's vengeful chieftain and his warband can end in only one way - a horrific sacrificial death on the tribe's altar of blood.

I Love that they all know each other
Empire is a great series and I am enjoying it so much! All the characters are so well written that at times from who is at a scene you can predict what they will say. I especially love the the two senior soldiers (if you know you know) are getting there chance. Its just a shame about Scarface as I'm sure he would of done well too.
I also love that in the foot notes he mentioned Ben Kane who is also an Amazing period time writter and having listened to all his books too I would advise his also.
