Emotional Final Clashing of Characters
This is a great historical fiction novel series. The first book was great, this is GREATER. I'm only sad it ended.
If you like the idea of visualising how historical events could have happened, this is it.
This was an adventure filled with laughs, entertainment, gritty reality of war, death, murder.
It was thought provoking, putting myself in the lives of several ancient men, From soldiers & slaves, to kings & generals.
Great narration!

Simply put: SUPERB!
I, like many of you who find yourself reading this, love novels that take you into the rich and full world of Ancient Rome and I am constantly seeking the next rush. This book, and the preceding one, does this effortlessly and with a gritty hit as hard as well aged scotch whiskey. The threads weave together perfectly and the character development seen through the eyes of the opposing sides is done with a masters touch. Finishing this story has left a satisfied yet sorrowful feeling. The way finishing an amazing holiday feels - I need more!

Great story. As good as book 1 or better.
This is the second book of the series following Clash of Empires. The characters are great. Well written and well read.

Amazing.
Ben Kane is one of my favourite authors and in The Falling Sword he is at his best. From the depth of the story to the richness of the environments and the interesting characters, this book is a must listen for any historical fiction fans.

Good story and different
What I really likes about this story but didn't notice until listening a second time, was how Ben Kane weaved his Hanno character from his Hannibal book series into this story. Great work and very entertaining
