About this listen

The third novel in The Forgotten Legion trilogy takes the main protagonists from North Africa back to Rome in the build-up to the assassination of Julius Caesar.

Having survived the perils of a journey across half the world, Romulus and Tarquinius are press-ganged into the legions, which are under imminent threat of annihilation by the Egyptians. Meanwhile in Rome, Romulus's twin sister Fabiola lives in fear for her life, loved by Brutus, but wooed by Marcus Antonius, his deadly enemy. Soon after, Romulus fights at Zela, the vicious battle where Caesar famously said, 'Veni, vidi, vici'. Tarquinius, separated from Romulus in the chaos of war, hides in Alexandria, searching for guidance. But mortal danger awaits them both. From the battlefields of Asia Minor and North Africa, to the lawless streets of Rome and the gladiator arena, they face death daily, until on the Ides of March, the twins are reunited and must decide either to back or to betray Caesar on his day of destiny.

A thoroughly enjoyable journey through the history of the first triumverate, combining some of the most important moments of roman history with fullyformed characters that you"ll end up rooting for. Michael Praed has to be one of the best narrators on Audible.

I have enjoyed all 3 books but tired in the end of Fabiola and bored with the brother and sister surviving every situation thrown at them; no suspense as you just knew they'd survive. secondary characters far more interesting and would like to know more about them.

This book will have you hooked from the start ! The long and hard travels across far off lands shrouded in the mists of antiquity. A must listen to for any history buff.

I enjoyed the storyline but I deny my disgust at the development of Fabiola’s storyline… I won’t say more as to not spoil the story for others but some parts were hard to listen to ngl

I think I’m too much of a prude for the Fabiola’s storyline

Gripping and exciting till the end, I gasped aloud so many times whilst at work. Love the narrator aswell
