Acerca de esta escucha

In Northern India, the Malwa have created an empire of unexampled evil. Guided or possessed by an intelligence from beyond time, with new weapons, old treachery, and an implacable will to power, the Malwa will sweep over the whole Earth. Only three things stand between the Malwa and their plan of eternal domination: the empire of Rome in the East, Byzantium; a crystal with vision; and a man named Belisarius, the greatest commander Earth has ever known....

An excellent tale read by an excellent narrator.

This is my first attempt at anything written by Flint or Drake, but I’ve already purchased the next in the series! And Pete Bradbury, too, is new to me , and excels at his craft, bringing this great tale to life. Well done in all ways!

Great book from a fantastic writer, well performed

If you have never read anything by Eric Flint, that's your loss. Go now and make it good!
This book starts a sextology -- no relation to the forbidden s-word -- i.e. a series of 6 books -- telling a great what-if pseudo-history tale.
What-if... Persia and Rome didn't fight endlessly?
What-if... Belisarius didn't conquer European barbarians nor ended in exile?
What-if... Rome and Axum became allies and fought India together?
What-if... they also had developed gunpowder?

Add to this mix a cast of incredible characters - some serious, some funny, some disgusting, none of them boring or stupidly written.

The performance is quite adequate, not incredible but not bungled, all the voices are distinguishable. My only issue is with pronunciation of some names.

One of the best series ever written

I'm quite ecstatic this this book has been brought into audible form. I remember reading this when I was in the Marine Corps and the series helped me pass many a cold night. Now - All that's left for audio books is for you guys to get Falkenburg's Legion by Jerry Pournelle completed and my life will be complete. Thanks again and well done performance. The voice is matched very well with the story.

I've been waiting for this series to get on here

This is one of my favorite series that got me into ready more of David Drake and Eric Flints other series. It is a great alternate history saga with well developed characters. Pete Bradbury did a great job with the reading.

Perfectly performed - top-drawer writing

I've listened to pretty much everything Drake has on audible. In addition to being a very well-told story, this book is also amazingly well performed by Pete Bradbury. Unlike many other audio books, including Drake's latest Leary book: "To Clear Away the Shadows," this one has none of the obvious pasted-in audio edits, character-tone errors, and mispronounced words one hears.

This is about as close to perfection as you can get. (Another superbly narrated book is The Diamond Age, by Neil Stephenson, narrated by Jennifer Wiltsie.)

If you like Drake, BUY THIS BOOK!
And if you are the publisher, PLEASE get Pete working on the rest of the series!

Very Good Historical SF/MF

Circa CE 530 Belisarius is the Roman Empire’s most distinguished general. He commands legions of elite Thracian Kataractēs and mercenaries. He’s a master of martial strategy and tactics, and deadly with a sword. He also has a mysterious and secret benefactor called Aid. Aid is from the future. Together they must defeat Link, Aid’s archenemy, at all costs, or there won’t be a future for humanity.
The story is interesting and well written despite much too much repetitiveness and superfluity of choice nouns (“mutter, mutter, mutter”). The narration is excellent too.
Highly recommended.

An AMAZING series

There are very few series that have impacted me the way this one has. I don’t ever read anything twice because there are so many books out there to read the first time. But I am making an exception with the series.

If you like history and intrigue and great battles in sweeping stories with well developed, personalities, strong relationships, and most of all the triumphs redemption…of good over evil, then read this book. Read this series. But do it slowly. You will only get one chance to read it for the first time. That will be a profound experience. I envy you.
