Narrado por: Michael Praed

The third novel in The Forgotten Legion trilogy takes the main protagonists from North Africa back to Rome in the build-up to the assassination of Julius Caesar.

Having survived the perils of a journey across half the world, Romulus and Tarquinius are press-ganged into the legions, which are under imminent threat of annihilation by the Egyptians. Meanwhile in Rome, Romulus's twin sister Fabiola lives in fear for her life, loved by Brutus, but wooed by Marcus Antonius, his deadly enemy. Soon after, Romulus fights at Zela, the vicious battle where Caesar famously said, 'Veni, vidi, vici'. Tarquinius, separated from Romulus in the chaos of war, hides in Alexandria, searching for guidance. But mortal danger awaits them both. From the battlefields of Asia Minor and North Africa, to the lawless streets of Rome and the gladiator arena, they face death daily, until on the Ides of March, the twins are reunited and must decide either to back or to betray Caesar on his day of destiny.

Fun adventure but a bit contrived

Love the character building, but the premise of the main plot, revenge on the rapist, was a bit base.

really enjoyed this

really enjoyed the last book in the series. I had read some. negative reviews, but personally found it tied up the series nicely.

Amazing series

Ben Kane is a fantastic writer and the narrators was perfect. This series didn't disappoint.

masterpiece

this trilogy deserves a tv series! narator made the whole thing 10 times more interesting. well done

Good twist

The conspiracy to kill Cesar by the exslave girl was a smart idea by the author. Although a little far out.
