About this listen
He came home a hero.
But death isn't finished with him yet....
145 BC - Calabria, ancient Rome.
After years of spilling blood for Rome, Gaius Furius Paullus has returned home to spend his remaining days working quietly on the family farm.
But it seems death has stalked Paullus from the battlefield. Just days after his arrival, bodies start appearing - murdered and mutilated. And as the deaths stack up and panic spreads, the war hero becomes the prime suspect. After all, Paullus has killed countless enemies on the battlefield - could he have brought his habit home with him?
With the psychological effects of combat clouding every thought, Paullus must use all his soldier's instincts to hunt the real killer. Because if they are not brought to justice soon, he may become the next victim.
The Return is the breathless, epic new thriller from one of the world's best historical novelists - for fans of Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden, Ben Kane and Bernard Cornwell.

A story in the republic era
So many books are set in the age of Empire or Julius Caesar. It is great to hear a story set in the republican era.
Good narrater, the battle scenes are magnificent. A depressing, dreary world with moments of pure satisfaction.
My only complaint is that its not a series

Well written and read
A very good fictional Roman story. There was a lot of detail in painting a picture of what Italy was like a few thousand years ago. The author made you feel like you were there. The story line worked well.

Couldn't get into it.
Good enough to finish...just. I have enjoyed the author's other books very much but struggled with this one? It is well-writen and in my genre, but lacked the story telling punch and page turning excitement of his earlier novels.
A good idea to combine two genres but lacked the intensity and grit of a true story telling. Narrator fine.
