Summary

Rome 174 AD. As the war continues in the north, Marcus Aurelius orders Gaius Maximus and Rufus Atticus to return to Rome. Enemies lurk in the shadows in the capital, spreading propaganda and sowing dissent. The praetorian guards must lure their enemies out - and defeat them. Yet Maximus is returning home for something, or rather someone, else: Aurelia. The soldier will be caught between his duty and his happiness. Rufus Atticus will also be forced to make a choice, between the duty he owes to his Emperor and the duty he owes to his family. Triumph and tragedy may prove to be two sides of the same coin. The centurions will be caught-up in a web of intrigue - as well as a battle on the streets of Rome - that will decide the fate of Marcus Aurelius and the Empire.

Sword of Empire: Centurion is the sequel to the best-selling novella Sword of Empire: Praetorian. For fans of Simon Scarrow, Harry Sidebottom, and Conn Iggulden.

What would you say if I cut your tongue out?"

Enjoyable for readers who like tales set in Rome, around 174 AD, of infidelity and family intrigue, long, at times convoluted, sentences and the occasional inconsistent reversion to 'older' styles of speech, such as 'She reddened not her lips with ocre' and 'slowed but halted not'. Some street fighting, murder and lascivious behaviour from all except the Emperor.
Narration was again by Sam Devereaux, whose most pleasant voice was still overly slow in it's performance.
Good cover art, though
