About this listen
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories, Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains, and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves.
But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory.
But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?

Amazing!
From the first lines to the last this book was truly awesome. Gritty, detailed in all the right ways and consuming. Excellent character development while heart thumpingly fast and brutal. After exhausting Simon Turney’s catalogue (highly recommended if you don’t know his work also) I am so very happy I have found another at his level. Immediately getting into book 2! True 10/10 from the first book - wow!

A Boys Own Adventure
A well written historical adventure woven around the legend of Spartacus. The fight sequences can be a bit over-described.

Spartacus from a different perspective
Great saga of historical events. you get used to the narrator's style after a while. Great to listen to on long drives.

Annoying narrator
The narrator spoke as if reciting Shakespeare in the theatre. Over pronouncing his Rr’s etc. Very officious and pompous sounding.
