About this listen

An uncertain future in a new past.

During the test flight of a prototype faster-than-light craft, Lt. Commander Ky is flung into an ancient past that never existed. Rome has fallen, defeated by the mighty Carthaginian Empire, its survivors chased off the continent and onto what had been the remote province of Britannia.

Hounded by the Carthaginians bent on conquering the known world, Rome is on the verge of destruction. Stranded and alone, except for a tactical AI implanted in his head, Ky has lost everything and must find a way to live in a world different than anything he's ever known.

For Ky to survive, he needs a new home. For the Romans to survive, they need a miracle. But can a man from the future work with people so far in his past, or is this match doomed to failure?

A Masterpiece

I seriously think this is probably one of the very best series on Audible. It's very similar to Destiny's Crucible but with a much better main character. I was hooked the entire time.

Loved the story!

I really enjoyed how this book was written. It was descriptive without feeling like author was trying to pad the book. The narrator has a voice that keeps you engaged with the book.

AN INTERESTING DIVERTING PLOT - MIX OF SCYFI TYPES

Although somewhat verbose, the plot is original and highly entertaining. In essence, it comprises a mix of time travel, and alternate universes, with a touch of futuristic spacefaring elements. Looking forward to volume-2

Amazing Narration

A fun story and easy listen, reminds me of the Olan Thorenson series. Exceptionally good narrator, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In my all time top 10

I have just over 6,000 hours of listening, this is one of the best.

Exciting

Very different take on a time travel adventure. No longer reliant on the past having happened the way it did before he is able to weave a very enjoyable story. Looking forward to the next installment.

Decent but Repetitive and Derivative

This book is 70% the main character explaining himself to various groups of skeptical Romans and 30% actual plot driven story. I normally appreciate longer books but this one could have been cut down shorter and been a better book for it.

For a more concise take on the same idea, I'd recommend A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, from which this author seemed heavily inspired.

For a longer series that is more story driven and overall more interesting, I'd recommend The Lost Regiment series by William Forstchen.
