Marius' Mules V: Hades' Gate

Marius' Mules, Book 5

By: S.J.A. Turney

Narrated by: Malk Williams

4 BC.

As tensions build in Gaul and the druids manoeuvre the tribes towards general rebellion, Priscus and the diminishing senior staff of Caesar's army prepare to return to Britannia, this time with a vast army and a will to crush the tribes of that mysterious island. Meanwhile, Fronto contemplates a non-military future as he settles into the life of a married nobleman, socialising with Rome's elite and coming to terms with the decline in his fitness.

In this year of rising troubles, Priscus will miss his former commander's presence more than ever. With rebellious Gauls, defiant Britons, vengeful giants, veteran gladiators and dangerous criminals, Fronto is pushed to the limits, driving him to a decision he dreads and a battle for his very life at the steaming, hellish land of Hades' Gate.

Unique Storytelling, Vivid Narrative

I have read a lot of modern literature about Rome and Roman's but the 'Marius Mules' series takes a completely unique view of the Roman Legionaires life and battle rigor.

A+

Quickly turning into my favorite book series of all time, Love it. love it. love it.

great story.

My only gripes are minor. The ground is not a floor. Arrows of a few ounces no matter how forcefully fired cannot throw a man anywhere. And "steed " should be used as little as possible.

amazing book from an 3xcellent series

the story stays complex and 3xciting as always with Caesar and the beginning of his reign

Still Strong

As usual....the series doesn't disappoint. I literally stayed up till 3 am just to finish the book

Love this series!!!

This book dropped off in quality i.e. battles. This book is more on the hime side. It has an outstanding Gladiator snippet. I tend to get lost in the names and tribes but this series still keeps me up late as i follow the story.

Great story!

The continuing saga of Fronto and his friends is outstanding. Can’t get enough of it.
