Summary
AD 273. Obsessed by the solar religions of the east, the emperor Aurelian sets out to obtain every sacred object within his realm. But one - a mysterious rock said to channel the power of the sun god - lies beyond his reach.
Warrior-priest Ilaha has captured the legendary stone and is using it to raise an army against Rome. For imperial agent Cassius Corbulo and ex-gladiator bodyguard Indavara, stopping him constitutes their greatest challenge yet.
Assisted by a squad of undercover soldiers and a Saracen chieftain, they trek south across the deserts of Arabia, encountering sandstorms, murderous moneylenders and a ruthless German mercenary. And when they finally reach Ilaha's mountain fortress, they face thousands of warriors who will give their lives to protect him...and the black stone.

Enjoyable listen
Overall this was an enjoyable listen and I would happily read the book.
I only gave it 4 stars out of 5 however as the authors attempts to make the main character human and filled with remorse towards the end of the book spoilt it a bit for me and I would probably have skipped these pages in a book.
Otherwise a worthwhile story

Loved it from beginning to end. Thank you.
I am no expert on books. All I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narration from beginning to end..

Not all battles
I’ve written this review several times to try to avoid badmouthing the chap below who took points off because a man showed emotion. It’s that “battles and balls “approach that put me off reading these for a long time. It does the author a disservice and says more about them than the book.

Outstanding from start to finish
The fact that I’ve I’m on the fourth book in the series says a lot for the author and narrator. The Black Stone had me hooked right from the beginning. With the detailed description of scenes, characters and battles with a twisting plot it was so easy to be completely immersed in this story.
