Summary

The action-filled climax of the epic story of the Batavi uprising in AD 69, from the author of the best-selling Empire series.

Victory is in sight for Kivilaz and his Batavi army. The Roman army clings desperately to its remaining fortresses along the Rhine, its legions riven by dissent and mutiny, and once-loyal allies of Rome are beginning to imagine the unimaginable: freedom from the rulers who have dominated them since the time of Caesar.

The four centurions - two Batavi and two Roman, men who were once comrades in arms - must find their destiny in a maze of loyalties and threats, as the blood tide of war ebbs and flows across Germania and Gaul.

For Rome does not give up its territory lightly. And a new emperor knows that he cannot tolerate any threat to his undisputed power. It can only be a matter of time before Vespasian sends his legions north to exact the empire's retribution.

excellent

Anthony Richies is fast becoming one of the best authors in historical fiction. not only is the book well researched with description of life in the period, attention to the background geography, uniforms etc, but so many characters are given life (Thanks to mark noble) a studio cast director would have nightmares. I have thourghly enjoyed the trilogy ,and....
empire ten is next!!

Detailed well paced plot

Many thanks for another enjoyable listen. This was an absorbing story about a period often mentioned that I have mostly ignorant about. The story was well paced with three dimensional characters that I felt invested in.
