About this audiobook
57 BC. The fearsome Belgae have gathered a great army to oppose Rome, and Fronto and the legions assemble once more to take Caesar's war against the most dangerous tribes in the northern world. While the legions battle the Celts in the fiercest war of Caesar's career, the plots and conspiracies against him, both at Rome and among his own army, become ever deeper and more dangerous.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good, solid escapist historical military fiction without sex, but with enough bloodcurdling violence to almost make up for it.
3.5 * rather than 3*, but am unable to give 4*, in spite of the fact that this is the 2nd book of the series that I have read back to back and thoroughly enjoyed.
Perhaps, I being a little OCD, but I find the author guilty of throwing in annoying anachronisms. Centurians accusing each other of being ''in denial'' or describing one soldier as being ''psychotic'' makes me uneasy. It would have been better literary strategy to have perhaps used other descriptive solutions and allowed the ready a more nuanced comprehension of a particular character.
Otherwise, the author is a very competent and engaging storyteller who keeps the plot moving along from one battle to the next.
Very good narration.
