Publisher's Summary

Julius Caesar has taken his legions north into mighty battles with the Gallic tribes. But as his successes mount, overwhelming ambition and new alliances begin to threaten his friendship with Marcus Brutus, brother-in-arms and fellow warrior. Although the conquest of Gaul has made Caesar a hero all over again, his victories on the battlefield cause still more rivalries at home. And ultimately Caesar and Brutus will have to choose whether to cross the Rubicon - together or singly - and to take the fight to Rome itself.

Why change name pronunciations in the third book of the series?

Who makes the decision to change the pronunciation of the character's names in the third book of the series.I thought that a bunch of new characters were being introduced to the story, only to realize that the reader was pronouncing V's as W's. Really irritating and contrived! Why not keep the pronunciations as they were in the first two books???

Reader can’t pronounce the names right

The story is good and interesting but the reader is unable to pronounce any of the names properly, and it removes you from the story every time and make you wonder why they would have some one who can’t pronounce the names narrate it

Changed narrator !!!!!!

The change in narrator changes the pace, flow, names, and even the characters them selves! So disappointed with the change! Second narrator does not live up to Robert Glenister !

Narrator Sucks

Like everyone else has to say, the narrator makes this book almost unlistenable. Maybe get someone who can pronounce the letter V properly next time

I see I'm not the only one

I see others have beat me to it in blasting the narrator's pronunciation. I almost stopped listening because of the narrator's inability to pronounce the letter V

BAD READER!!!!

Great story but very bad reader. He can’t pronounce any name correctly his voices are bad and why would you switch readers half way through a great series. I returned it becuase of this. Get a new reader and we can listen to this book again. You’ll get more sales.

Why?

WHY, WHY, WHY would you change the narrator half way through a series?? The guy can't even pronounce the character names correctly. Very difficult to follow when you are constantly trying to work out who is being referred to. I am struggling to make it through this book. The other 2 were INCREDIBLE. I looked forward to listening on the way to work and back. I will try to return the book. Seems like Audible has become rather petty when it comes to returns now (probably due to abuse) but I am a longstanding customer with well over 100 books in my library...

Another fantastic book. Starts slow.

It took me 3 attempts to get through the beginning of this book, after loving the first two in the series.

The combination of the narrator change and slow romance intro was disappointing. But once you get through it, a few hours in, the story picks right back up!!
