Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Piers Hampton’s narration in 'Forged in Rome' isn't just good; it's transcendent. His commanding voice imbues Marcus Nonius Macrinus with a complex mix of strength and vulnerability, making his journey all the more dramatic. The battle scenes are visceral, thanks to Hampton's clear enunciation and vivid descriptions that paint a picture as if you're right there on the battlefield. However, there were moments where the narrative felt slightly over-detailed, which could be a bit overwhelming for listeners seeking a faster pace. Overall, this audiobook is an absolute must-listen for anyone fascinated by ancient history or thrilling historical fiction.
