Critic reviews

Praise for Simon Scarrow: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' (Bernard Cornwell)

Gripping... ferocious and compelling, it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice

A new book in Simon Scarrow's series about the Roman army is always a joy

Rollicking good fun

A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff

Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best

[Simon Scarrow] blends together historical facts and characters to create a book that simply cannot be put down... Highly recommended

good closeout for the chase of Ajax

overall good novel, but short and could have been added to the last book. also, the author chose to skip over some crucial moments and instead they do not matter.

not as detailed as others

The battle did not have the thw amount if detail of some if his other books, and I agree that this could have been added to the previous book. Other than that, an enjoyable historical fiction.

Can't recommend

My least favorite of the series so far. Can't recommend this version. Perhaps the unabridged version is better. This one felt forced.

Near perfect

After the previous wondrous book, this shorter mission gives you what you need after the end of the previous book. Not the same narrator, but he does a fine job! I recommend jumping to this immediately after finishing the Gladiator.

This is literally only part of the book 😐

It's an abridged version missing half the content. that's why it's only 4 hours.

don't buy this they're stealing your money
