About this listen
The only survivor of a brutal battle, driven by a desperate need to see his family again....
Rome, 107 BC. Quintus Sertorius fought while the enemy slaughtered 90,000 of his brethren in the city’s bloodiest defeat. Battling night terrors and survivor’s guilt, he vows to preserve his beloved Rome and embarks on a covert mission deep into enemy territory.
Sertorius grows his beard and disguises himself in the garb of a Gaul, all the while his stomach churns with fear of discovery. But in order to gain vital information about the invaders, he must sink deeper into their ranks. As he uncovers the depths of the barbarian’s depravity he alone will have to rise to Rome’s aid.
Will Sertorius avenge his comrades and reunite with loved ones, or will the next massacre mark the end of the Republic?
The Noise of War is the second book in the best-selling Sertorius Scrolls historical fiction series. If you like vivid backdrops, the courage of conviction, and a fight for survival, then you’ll love Vincent B. Davis II’s compelling saga.
©2019 Vincent B. Davis Ii (P)2019 Vincent B. Davis IISet a little over 100 years B.C. and told in the first person from Sertonius' perspective, the book is based on actual events and historical people when Rome began it's expansion and military achievements. Well written, it is atmospheric, conveying the harshness of battle and of existence itself - they were a tough people, then. It is a thrilling read which pulls the reader through the terrors and sadness and leaves that person wanting more. Narration is by Joshua Saxon, whose slightly husky voice perfectly captures the presence of our main protagonist, Sertorius, as he recounts his story in his scrol!s. With excellent pacing, emotion and inflection, this is a fine performance.
I was most fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of The Noise of War, by the rights holder, at my request. Thank you so much. Ever a fan of novels set in the historical Roman period, this book covers a slightly less written about era when the Republic still stood and before Rome seemed invincible. Definitely recommended for all who enjoy military engagements from the times when fighting was very close up and personal and all wishing to extend their understanding of the greatness that was the Roman Empire.

Great characters, brilliant story and plenty of action to keep everyone entertained!
Amazing narration too and perfectly portrays the tension and atmosphere. I would enjoy a little more differentiation between the character voices though.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
