About this listen
In the late August of AD 79, the inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum are going about their normal business in the late summer heat. Two of them have a room share arrangement: Nonius, scrounger, thief and failed pimp works by night and sleeps by day; Larius, the fresco painter with dreams of artistic greatness, does the opposite.
When just after midday the summit of Vesuvius disappears in a vast volcanic ash cloud, their lives will change forever. While one sets about looting rapidly emptying homes, the other desperately tries to save his family from destruction.
Lindsey Davis brings alive one the greatest catastrophes in human history in this gripping audiobook, poignantly evoking the struggle for life in the cities beneath the volcano.

Brilliant writer, wonderful narration
I loved the Falco books especially those read by Christian Rodska but this is the first Lindsey Davis book that has had me sobbing. Understable really considering the subject and the great writing.
Jonathan Keeble's narration was excellent. He read the story believably without imposing his own personality on it which spoils a lot of good stories.

Interesting tale
For anyone who has read Linsday Davies' brilliant falco series it is bittersweet to hear familiar characters and cross referenced tangled up in this historic tradegy. The story is shorter than I'd hope but an interesting take on events, Ibsupose some extra colour around the characters and therefore the story comes from the Falco series too.
