À propos de cet audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
Devour the latest epic tale of ancient Greece and Sunday Times top five best seller from the author of War of the Roses.
On the plains of Marathon an army of slaves gathers....
Under Darius the Great, King of Kings, the mighty Persian army - swollen by 10,000 Immortal warriors - have come to subjugate the Greeks.
In their path stands an army of freeborn Athenians and among them is fearsome and cunning soldier-statesman, Xanthippus.
Knowing defeat means slavery lends keenness to his already sharp blade....
Yet people soon forget that freedom is bought with blood.
Ten years later, Xanthippus watches helplessly as Athens succumbs to the bitter politics of factionalism, when the Persians cross the Hellespont in ever greater numbers to raze Athens to the ground.
Facing overwhelming forces by land and sea, the Athenians call on their Spartan allies for assistance - to delay the Persians at the treacherous pass of Thermopylae....

Romulus and Fabiola are twins, born into slavery after their mother is raped by a drunken nobleman on his way home from a good night out. At 13 years old, they and their mother are sold: Romulus to gladiator school, Fabiola into prostitution, where she will catch the eye of one of the most powerful men in Rome, and their mother into obscurity and death in the salt mines. Tarquinius is an Etruscan, a warrior and soothsayer, born enemy of Rome, but doomed to fight for the Republic in the Forgotten Legion.

The first novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Roman series. It is 42 AD, and Quintus Licinius Cato has just arrived in Germany as a new recruit to the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. If adjusting to the rigours of military life isn't difficult enough for the bookish young man, he also has to contend with the disgust of his colleagues when, because of his imperial connections, he is appointed a rank above them.

Very Gripping
Took me awhile to accept Conn as a viable choice to Cromwell but after the Mongols series which I still going I believe, I was hooked. He seems to know all the periods I find fascinating. Accuracy I'm not a expert but do check out events to see if this or that actually happened. Accuracy is very close to everything I've researched and still remains a great story not a text book. Definitely going to read the series

Very good entry in a string of amazing stories
Fantastic start and finish, very slow for the bulk of the middle but it is setting up a trilogy. Classic tale by one of the best historical fiction authors there is!

Love getting a window to another time
Really love his historic fiction books. The story was enough to keep me listening. Was really good actually. I mean, his writing when it comes down to historical stuff, like logistics of armies and how they fought, and what happened is great, and the drama side of it is just ok.

Meh
Read one of his earlier series. The Khan series was his peak. Or read a Jack Whyte book. Try Skystone.

Worst Read ever
I love Conn books and love reading and listening to them but this was so painful. One more “stoic speech from tough guy with tears in eyes” I wanted to throw up. Horrible reading and writing. Not the Conn I am used to.
