It is 56 BC. As Fronto and his friends’ winter in Rome and Caesar in Illyricum, trouble is brewing in the north. The tribes of Armorica, driven to desperate action by the harsh rule of Crassus, raise their standards in defiance of the Roman eagle, causing a chain reaction that threatens everything the legions of Caesar have achieved. Meanwhile, in Rome, the conspiracies against Caesar take an unexpected turn, plunging Fronto and his friends into a world of crime, violence and intrigue that threaten everything the legate cares about.

Promoted to the elite Praetorian Guard in the thick of battle, a young legionary is thrust into a seedy world of imperial politics and corruption. Tasked with uncovering a plot against the newly crowned Emperor Commodus, his mission takes him from the cold Danubian border all the way to the heart of Rome, the villa of the Emperor’s scheming sister, and the great Colosseum. What seems a straightforward, if terrifying, assignment soon descends into Machiavellian treachery and peril as everything in which young Rufinus trusts and believes is called into question....

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.

The best Roman series I’ve listened to!
This is a well balanced, even stable book. God characters, realistic storyline, good pacing and excellent narration. This book is a pleasure to listen to. No character or two powerful or untouched. Great story and series I will consume.

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

At Last!! Something else worth listening to!
If like me you love Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy, Anthony Riches, Robert Fabbri and Ben Kane, buy this, you will not be dissapointed! A thoroughly enjoyable listen and a great take on Julius Caesar and the intrigues of Roman life. So far only up to book 4 is available on Audible, hopefully that will soon change because I have loved all 4 thus far!

Not bad of its kind
I tend to read books like this when there’s nothing else I want to read. That sounds harsh but they do tend to be a bit March-Fight-March-Lose a Minor Character -climactic battle. This fits that general mould but has decent characters not weighed down by traumatic back stories. It’s not brilliantly written (there’s a whole drinking game to be got from the use of the word gutteral) but it’s fine.

Amazing!
While Julius Caesar is a well known figure, this monumental opening book to what will no doubt be an epic saga breaths life into his story in brutal fashion. Turney is able to create realistic, flawed yet likable characters like few others and when combined with an epic narrator, is just a great way to spend your time. Battles, blood and smooth flow. What more could you want from a Roman books?! If you like Ben Kane, Simon Scarrow, Bernard Cornwell or Anthony Riches then I highly recommend! 10/10
