About this audiobook
4 BC. As tensions build in Gaul and the druids manoeuvre the tribes towards general rebellion, Priscus and the diminishing senior staff of Caesar's army prepare to return to Britannia, this time with a vast army and a will to crush the tribes of that mysterious island. Meanwhile, Fronto contemplates a non-military future as he settles into the life of a married nobleman, socialising with Rome's elite and coming to terms with the decline in his fitness. In this year of rising troubles, Priscus will miss his former commander's presence more than ever. With rebellious Gauls, defiant Britons, vengeful giants, veteran gladiators and dangerous criminals, Fronto is pushed to the limits, driving him to a decision he dreads and a battle for his very life at the steaming, hellish land of Hades' Gate.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5High Value Military Historicy Potboilers!
I’m aesthetically (or, at least, pretend to be) opposed to a series of anything, whether movies, books...or bad presidents.
But I’m going to confess...I am addicted to this series of historical novels concerning Caesar’s campaigns, although Caesar playing one of the principals, not acting as the main protagonist.This is the 5th in the series and the 5th that I’ve read (audiobook listened to) in the last couple of months.
So far, it is the best of the lot of addictively entertaining and well-designed novels(I’ve given a 3• rating to each of the previous instalments).
Although, falling back on stereotype characterisation and plot development occasionally, the author is an adept enough wordsmith to pull it all off exceedingly well.
The narrator, Mark Williams, although not a master of accents, does a very good job.
