Agricola: Invader

By: Simon Turney

Narrated by: Mark Elstob

The first volume in a thrilling new historical adventure series by Simon Turney, critically acclaimed author of Legion XXII and Sons of Rome.

58 AD, Rome. Agricola, teenage son of an impoverished yet distinguished noble family, has staked all his resources and reputation on a military career. His reward? A posting as tribune in the far-off northern province of Britannia.

Serving under renowned general Suetonius Paulinus, Agricola soon learns the brutality of life on the very edges of the empire, for the Celtic tribes of Britannia are far from vanquished.

To take control of the province, the Romans must defeat the ancient might of the druids—and the fury of the Iceni, warriors in their thousands led by a redoubtable queen named Boudicca...

Colorful narration gave Authenticity to the story.

Readable characters and storyline made for enjoyable listening. The narrative was personable and gave the characters great personality.

Wow!!

Absolutely amazing. Very solid characters with an intense story. The voice actor was insanity good too

Interesting

Unexpectedly interesting. I like the author’s work but I wasn’t sure about Agricula as a main character. The only complaint is the voice of Agricula…too nasal and it reminded me too much of the voice you would expect from a PITA character.
Well worth the listen though.

Loved the characters

Great story and narration. Loved bothering the hero and slave. Wish there were more in the series!

Liked the story and the reading. Always interesting to get a picture of those events that were so important.
