In this rousing conclusion to The Saga of Roland Inness, King Richard has called up Roland and the legendary Invalid Company to serve in his grinding war against King Philip of France. It's a conflict where brutal mercenaries ravage the land and take no prisoners and where a king's favour is for sale. As Roland leads the Invalid Company into harm's way, his old enemy buys his way out of exile and threatens all that Roland holds dear back in England. Can Roland and the Invalids survive the war in France with their reputations intact? It's a question of honour!

Hannibal, a name used to terrify millions. Long before that pale shade Lecter came on the scene, the original Hannibal shook the foundations of the ancient world. Do you remember who defeated him? Few remember. But those who do never forget. You can ride with the Legion. You can fight the Carthaginian hordes in desperate battles. You can risk daring rescues. You can escape from an enemy’s grasp. You can survive defeat to fight another day. Listen to the exciting real-life story that sounds like a Hollywood action movie script. Only it’s true. Richard Sharpe.

Publisher's Summary
It is 58 BC, and the mighty Tenth Legion, camped in Northern Italy, prepare for the arrival of the most notorious general in Roman history: Julius Caesar. Marcus Falerius Fronto, commander of the Tenth, is a career soldier and longtime companion of Caesar's.
Despite his desire for the simplicity of the military life, he cannot help but be drawn into intrigue and politics as Caesar engineers a motive to invade the lands of Gaul. Fronto is about to discover that politics can be as dangerous as battle, that old enemies can be trusted more than new friends, and that standing close to such a shining figure as Caesar, even the most ethical of men risk being burned.

Great First Book!!!!
S.J.A. Turney did an amazing job with this. the story is full and the character development is on point. more importantly he did his research before writing...which makes a huge difference. This is definitely a "page turner"
Also some of the best narration. He has a strong voice, energetic, and is not monotone. I look forward to more books in this series
