Publisher's summary

The first volume in a thrilling new historical adventure series by Simon Turney, critically acclaimed author of Legion XXII and Sons of Rome.

58 AD, Rome. Agricola, teenage son of an impoverished yet distinguished noble family, has staked all his resources and reputation on a military career. His reward? A posting as tribune in the far-off northern province of Britannia.

Serving under renowned general Suetonius Paulinus, Agricola soon learns the brutality of life on the very edges of the empire, for the Celtic tribes of Britannia are far from vanquished.

To take control of the province, the Romans must defeat the ancient might of the druids—and the fury of the Iceni, warriors in their thousands led by a redoubtable queen named Boudicca...

Background of the grade revolt. Which I knew nothing about.

Then narrator is very good at switching voices to represent different characters. I prefer this too active versions with different people.

Interesting

Unexpectedly interesting. I like the author’s work but I wasn’t sure about Agricula as a main character. The only complaint is the voice of Agricula…too nasal and it reminded me too much of the voice you would expect from a PITA character.
Well worth the listen though.

Informative regarding tribal customs and terrain, including good battle explanations.

The story is good as I like historically based books. The characters are well fleshed out, except for the rival tribune. What I did not like is the narrator. Nasal intonation for some characters and heaven forfend he ever does women again.

voices

I love this author and his books great stuff but I had a hard time enjoying this due to the narrator..his character voices either sounded like they were dumb and or had their nose plugged. We need Malc Williams!!
