Great book

This book is about the people’s on the frontier banding together and forming many alliances in order to push the Romans back and take back all the lands they lost in prior conflicts. Great characters and wonderful descriptions.

I always feel like I'm being transported back to Ancient Rome when I read a book from the Centurion Series. It's a very well written series with lots of action, political intrigue, drama, and an impressive amount of detail of what life was like in Ancient Rome and Britannia during Roman occupation. A lot of the characters existed during this time, which adds another element to the story. I'm already reading the next book in the series (The Border Wolves).

This book is a page turner!

The characters are familiar if you have been reading the series and plot keeps you coming back to find out what happens next!

I don’t want the story to end! I want to keep reading on and on! I’m only 71 and I could read this like it was a never ending story!

BRILLIANT

If you enjoy Simon Scarrow you will love reading Damion Hunter. The centuries trilogy has everything, brilliant story line, blood and guts. A hero who fights the enemy but also his own side who are ruthless. BRILLIANT CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BOOK.

Wonderful tale

Enjoyed all three books in this trilogy, fast moving storyline, plenty of content and intrigue, all the characters worked very well, a big thank you for the hours of diversion.

A Winding Trail

This third episode takes its time getting to the blood and glory elements, but packs a lot in beforehand. Intrigues mix with passions and simple domestics to make a mixed but fulsome and satisfying read.

[Mark Donald · Rating 2 out of 5]

a hard read. a bit of a slog. I found it very hard to keep up with all the different characters and none of them felt like a main one to follow through a story. also not many action scenes and the big battle at the end was a disappointment only lasted a few pages

Its great, if you want to learn Roman's history, maybe you need to read this first as refreshments and pique your curiosity on Roman's history 😉

Yet another good read.

Excellent read yet again. More plots than allotment. These brothers go from one plot to another. Cannot wait to read the next instalment.

Am thoroughly enjoying this trilogy and looking forward to reading the fourth book!

[Bryan Lizzimore · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good read and well researched but I would place " Eagles of the Empire" series ahead of this.
