The Boy Centurion

By: J J Kennard

Narrated by: Stewart Crank

AD 383. Emperor Magnus Maximus orders the northern legions of Britannia to withdraw. The lumbering retreat is fraught with danger, as local tribes and warlords seek to capitalize on the power vacuum left by the Romans. This is the story of Atticus, the 15-year-old son of a cohort tribune from the sixth legion. Trapped behind the walls of a garrison, with only an aging centurion and his men for protection, Atticus must use both ingenuity and bravery to survive.

A great story!

I love historical fiction and was looking forward to reading about this period, the book did not disappoint. I only wish it were longer! Absolutely loved the narration. Amazing accents!

YA novel, but enjoyable for all ages

I received this audiobook free at my request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Boy Centurion is a period work bent toward Young Adult readers/listeners, but I found it to be enjoyable as an adult as well. The narration is very good, and I think that this is one that you could share with your whole family and feel good doing so. I'm hoping that there will be more books in this series, and we can see where the story continues to go.
