About this listen

AD 263 - the Roman Empire is in turmoil, with violent uprising threatening the balance of power. Ballista undertakes his most treacherous journey yet in a covert attempt to turn the barbarians against each other. He must face the Heruli - the Wolves of the North - the most brutal tribe of them all. But is it possible that the greatest threat may come from within Ballista’s own familia?

Got a little repetitive at times and too much introspection. Misses Roman storyline ti be further woven in

Too much irrelevant waffle which is not linked to the storyline or anything else.
Why does the author go on (and on) about PHYSIOGNOMY; the practice of identifying a person’s character from facial features. There are several sections with this each of about 10 minutes or more. Utter rubbish.
This is just one of my complaints.

No thanks.

I was hoping for a true to life overview of a certain time of history from various perspectives. Instead I got a grim ritual killing described in gruesome detail repeatedly.
