About this listen
AD 98. The bustling army base at Vindolanda lies on the northern frontier of Britannia and the entire Roman world. In just over 20 years' time, the Emperor Hadrian will build his famous wall. But for now, defences are weak as tribes rebel against Rome.
It falls to Flavius Ferox, Briton and Roman centurion, to keep the peace. But it will take more than just a soldier's courage to survive life in Roman Britain.

Very good, but confusing in parts
While an excellent Roman historical novel it lacks the historical background about the early parts of Emperor Trajan's reign; this only becomes evident in the last chapter. Goldsworthy is an excellent historian, but needs some polishing as a historical novelist. The reader can come confused with the number of characters, especially on the Roman side. He could learn from Scarrow and Kane in putting together a novel.

First Class depiction of the Roman Military
Even though Goldsworthy can find himself not fleshing out his characters enough.. this novel is thoroughly enjoyable. As a lover of Roman history , particularly, Roman military history, I found this novel to be a first class depiction of the structure and everyday life of a Roman soldier. Ferox is a wonderful character and a classic Centurion.
Do yourself a favour and immerse yourself in This world.

Trying to hard to be to many things.
Hoping for a military story but instead got a book trying hard to be a anti hero slash romance slash sleuth story that was boring.
Will not bother with the books that will follow in this story.
