Invader: Death Beach (1 in the Invader Novella Series)

By: Simon Scarrow, T. J. Andrews

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

The first novella in the gripping INVADER series, set in Roman Britain, AD 44, from Sunday Times bestselling authors Simon Scarrow and T. J. Andrews

The invasion of Britannia has been bloody and relentless, and still the barbaric islanders have not been fully conquered. The men of the Second Legion have suffered grievous losses in driving back their bitterest enemy, but worse is yet to come for the beleaguered soldiers. With winter fast approaching, they face a new threat: ferocious native warriors launching coordinated attacks from their secret base on the Isle of Vectis.

In response, the new legate announces a plan to invade Vectis and rout the enemy in what he expects to be a speedy and successful mission. But Horatius Figulus, a junior officer with local knowledge of the enemy, doubts the invasion will be so straightforward. And when the Second Legion encounters fierce resistance on the beach, Figulus and his fellow soldiers suddenly find themselves fighting a desperate battle for their lives....

Top-notch entertainment

Listening to this audiobook was pure pleasure: After a long day’s work, it was wonderful to escape to the Isle of Vectis (Wight), where ancient Roman soldiers are staving off barbaric natives during their efforts to conquer Brittania. The action is great, the reading by Keeble is absolutely terrific - it doesn’t get better! Can’t wait to start Book 2.

Waste of a credit

This is not an author problem. Short story at the price of a 18 hour novel.
Very dishonest.
