Summary

Flavius Ferox is the hard-bitten centurion charged with keeping the peace on Britannia's frontier with the barbarian tribes of the north. Now he's been summoned to Londinium by the governor, but before he sets out an imperial freedman is found brutally murdered in a latrine at Vindolanda fort. Ferox must find the killer. As he follows the trail, the murder leads him to plots against the empire and Rome itself. Bandits, soldiers and gladiators alike are trying to kill him, old friends turn traitor, and Ferox is lured reluctantly to the sinister haunts of the old druids on the isle of Mona.

Grisly Roman Epic

I’ve enjoyed the whole Vindolanda trilogy and can’t wait for the new one to come out next year!

The historical detail is fabulous and you can tell Adrian is an expert on the Roman army with the battle scenes being richly described. I recommend you don’t attempt to listen whilst eating dinner!

Ferox is a great hero and this book really explores his dual heritage as a Roman is centurion and a Prince of the British tribe he left behind. His ill fated love interest takes a different twist as we follow him into more Druid magic, tribal conflict and naturally an epic battle along with his loyal friends.

Peter is a great choice as narrator and really brings the story to life. A great listen and a Roman epic to savour.

Great Pt 3

Just finished a few weeks in the company of Tits Flavius Ferox. I am going to have withdrawal symptoms after finishing the trilogy. I hope there will be more.

Great historian, so-so novelist

I think I have read, and enjoyed, almost all of the author's historical works. Likewise I've persevered with his fictional efforts. The historical detail of the books is excellent but the plots and characters all a bit "sub Cornwell" and tend towards disjointed incoherence. Characters are a bit cliched and the "naughty bits" just make me cringe...

Great story of Roman Britain!

Well written story, and very authentic, as Mr Goldsworthy clearly knows his subject! The narration is superb by the way, and it really brings the story to life. This is the third in the series and I am really looking forward to the next one.

An excellent addition to the series

If you enjoyed the previous books in the series then I promise you'll enjoy Brigantia as well. It's got everything that made the vindolanda series great in the first place. While also offering plenty of new and interesting developments to keep the story fresh. Could not recommend enough.
