About this listen
From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, the final book in his authentic, action-packed trilogy set on the frontiers of the Roman Empire.
Britannia, AD 117: Roman centurion Flavius Ferox is trying to live a quiet life of dignified leisure, overseeing his wife's estate and doing his best to resist the urge to murder an annoying neighbor—until someone else does it for him. Dragged back into a life of violence, Ferox finds himself chasing raiders, fighting chieftains and negotiating with kings, journeying far into the north just as war breaks out.
With the new emperor, Hadrian, sending agents from Rome, the whole world seems to be changing: old friends become enemies, enemies claim they are friends, and new and deadly threats lurk in the shadows.
When, five years later, Hadrian himself comes to Britannia to inspect his great wall, a new war erupts suddenly, dividing tribes and families. Ferox is the only one who can save the emperor—but with his family, and his own life, in danger, Ferox must first decide whose side he is on...
Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The Wall, set against the construction of Hardian's Wall, is the final book in the City of Victory trilogy from bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy.

great ending to a great series
loved this whole series, thoughly enjoyed it. however, I'm left with that sadness when you finish a book or series. Ferox, Vindex and Bran et al had become family.

Wrapping up affairs
This has been a brilliant series. This one felt like it should be the last in the series and maybe some loose ends were tied up rather conveniently but I do look forward to seeing what comes next from Goldsworthy.

Balance of excitement action intrigue and historical accuracy.
Set in a Britain both familiar but very different.

series finale
terrific read, historical fiction needs research and facts interlaced into story, and Adrian does this incredibly well.
set amid the most fought over piece of land in the British Isles, Ferox and his wife, the Queen of the Brigantes, face foes from North and south, and from Rome itself.
plus Peter Noble is joint top (of 3) narrators in genre, I buy books just on thier names alone, such a talent to give voice to Claudia.
excellent trilogy

Confusing
I really enjoyed the first couple of this series, but most of the time had no idea what was going on in this one. The author has a tendency to use ‘the man’, ‘the centurian’, ‘the soldier’ etc instead of names, which may be very dramatic, but had me totally confused throughout. About half way I started jumping forward by chapters as there was a long skirmish with no clear indication of who was doing what…

Patches of goodness
I enjoyed parts of this novel but I found the way it kept leaping forward in time a bit disconcerting. It ended up feeling less compelling than the more cohesive narratives of Goldsworthy’s previous Ferox books.
