Publisher's summary

It is 58 BC, and the mighty Tenth Legion, camped in Northern Italy, prepare for the arrival of the most notorious general in Roman history: Julius Caesar. Marcus Falerius Fronto, commander of the Tenth, is a career soldier and longtime companion of Caesar's.

Despite his desire for the simplicity of the military life, he cannot help but be drawn into intrigue and politics as Caesar engineers a motive to invade the lands of Gaul. Fronto is about to discover that politics can be as dangerous as battle, that old enemies can be trusted more than new friends, and that standing close to such a shining figure as Caesar, even the most ethical of men risk being burned.

a bit repititive

to explain the rationale for an attack, and to give the feel of the comaraderie between the soldiers, the author used grins and growls repeatedly.

Bringing to life the Roman army of Julia’s CeasarThe

The Roman conquest of Gaul wasn’t as straightforward as Caesar’s original account seemed to indicate

Underwhelming

This was a passably enjoyable listen. The characters are pretty flat. Although there is some change of perspective doesn’t really do much through the story characterization of the Gauls is completely absent.

marius's mules could be better.

i had a hard time remembering the names, and some kind of character development didn't happen til about ½ way through. That being said, i would consider listening to other books by this author.
