Caratacus - quick-witted youngest son of a a tribal king - had been trained from birth to be a warrior of power and grit. Sent to be schooled by the Druids in his boyhood, his training meant that an already strong and cunning prince returned to his father's kingdom as a war machine.

The Dacian kingdom and Rome are at peace, but no one thinks that it will last. Sent to command an isolated fort beyond the Danube, centurion Flavius Ferox can sense that war is coming but also knows that enemies may be closer to home. Many of the Brigantes under his command are former rebels and convicts, as likely to kill him as obey an order. And then there is Hadrian, the emperor's cousin, and a man with plans of his own.

Lindisfarne, AD 793. There had been portents - famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground.

25 BC. Titus Cervianus is no ordinary soldier. A former surgeon from the city of Ancyra, he's now a capsarius—a combat medic. Cervianus is a pragmatist, a scientist and truly unpopular with his legion. The Twenty Second Deiotariana have been sent to deal with uprisings and chaos in Egypt. Yet the Twenty Second is no ordinary legion either. Founded as the private royal army of one of Rome's most devoted allies, the king of Galatia, their ways are not the same as the other legions, a factor that sets them apart and causes friction with their fellow soldiers.

Great stories, but get your Latin right!
When directly addressing someone the vocative case, not nominative case, is required. Every time your gladiator said "Dominus, ..." " I wanted to slap the tablet and scream. Use foreign words correctly, or don't use them at all. The word you needed is "Domine."

Tullus rides again!
If you have read Ben’s “Eagles” series you will love the extended stories of Tullus and other series characters in: “Eagles in the East”…”Eagles in the Wilderness”…”The Shrine” and “The Arena”. The stories give a little more time and information with my favorite fictional Centurion! The Title story “Sands of the Arena” kept me on the edge of my seat, always trying to anticipate what would happen next. The Forgotten Legion and Hannibal stories have “The March” and “Good Omen’s” other brilliant add on stories. I really enjoyed all the stories and how Ben weaved them in conjunction with his novels. I am hoping that Ben keeps on expanding his future books in the same way. There is nothing better then having just a little more from your favorite stories and characters. I listened to the audio book and the narrator was amazing, something I always look to when buying an audio book!
