If you could sum up EMPEROR: The Gates of Rome, Book 1 (Unabridged) in three words, what would they be?

Not history, fun.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

There was plenty of suspense and battle scenes are thrilling.

Which scene was your favorite?

Marius was a wonderful character and every scene with him was excellent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Adding Robert Glenister to my list of best ever, along with Martin Jarvis and George Guidel.
The narrator is, in my opinion, the single most important feature of any audible book. I don't think I will listen to any of this series that doesn't have Glenister narration.

Any resemblance to history is accidental but...

Some time ago i finished most of Bernard Cornwell's books and it was sad because i didn't have any more of these great historic pieces to read. This series will definitely scratch that itch, i think.

My newest addiction
