Summary
AD 114: NICOPOLIS
In the depths of the desert on the empire's Eastern Frontier, the Roman army lays siege to the city of Nicopolis.
Estranged from his beloved Enica to keep her safe, centurion Flavius Ferox has secured his freedom after being framed once again. His next quest: to uncover traitors within the Roman ranks.
As the siege builds, widespread corruption seethes and soldiers are murdered in cold blood. Meanwhile, Ferox's investigation brings him closer and closer to the imperial court, and uncovers connections to Hadrian himself...
Gritty, gripping and profoundly authentic, The City is the second book in a brand-new trilogy set in the Roman Empire from bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy.

A Historian that can write gripping fiction too. What a combination!
Loved it. I read predominantly Roman history and fiction. Adrian Goldsworthy crafts a gripping fiction interweaving it with his superb depth of knowledge on Roman History. Not one to miss!

Loved the story, but.
Excellent story loved the lively pace and obvious attention to detail. However, I found myself saying the injuries about to be inflicted before they happened. There are only so many ways a head can take an injury and we got them all. Stones, Arrows, Stones, Swords and Ballista bolts. With the inevitable results. I found it a bit predictable and detracted from what is otherwise a great story. Other options are equally valid.

Epic
The battles seep you away in to the past and the minds of the Roman army ,their allies and those on the frontier of the Empire . Gripping and authentic ,can’t wait for the next book to reveal more of Ferox story . The development of the caricatures immerses you right into the story .

A flat entry into the Vindolanda series
Narrator was great as usual and is the voice of Ferox! However Adrian G has written a tepid story here, very un-engaging and just a formulaic roll out of a siege. Adrian spends too much time here describing what’s going, like a placid observer of history playing out; What I wanted was an adventure, a story to hook me in etc, like the previous books! Seems Adrian has dialled this one in or lost his way regarding character story lines. It’s a shame.
