A shocking discovery in a Native American burial ground in present-day North Carolina reveals a history-changing link to ancient Rome.

In 55 B.C. the Roman Senate orders their most honored general, Demetrius Varinica, to cease mourning his wife and return to Rome to lead a fleet on an ill-fated invasion. The general and a handful of survivors from the devastated Fifteenth Legion wash up on an unknown shore and find themselves in a terrifying new world where every moment is a battle to stay alive.

Befriended by a peaceful tribe, these hardened warriors learn a different way of life, existing with nature, without war, without fighting. But even as a new day dawns, a terrifying evil falls upon the land and confronts Demetrius with an unthinkable choice, honor his oath, and return with his men to Rome or remain in this strange country and pick up his sword once again to face impossible odds in a desperate attempt to save the lives of these gentle people and the woman who has won his heart.

Richard Blade combines a remarkable story together with incredible narration to create one of the best audiobook presentations that you could ever ask for. This book alone would rate among one of the best historical fiction novels I have read. The only thing that would cause me to recommend not reading this book is the narration from Richard Blade himself with so heavily promotes the audiobook option.

I’ll be the first to admit that I bought this book solely because it was written (and narrated!) by Richard Blade, the iconic 80s DJ. I did not go in expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised by the story, pace, depth, and story-telling. Yeah, perhaps the historical facts aren't always spot-on, but this is a guilty pleasure, not a treatise. And of course the narration is second to none. Enjoy!

A very pleasant surprise!
