About this audiobook

The Gladiators is a powerful historical novel of ancient Rome. It is the story of a young Briton of the first century captured in battle by the Roman legions invading his country. Being enslaved, he's transported to the "Eternal City" at the time of Vitellus and Vespasian. There, he enters a gladiator school to become a warrior destined to fight to the death in the arena. This superb and highly regarded historical trilogy contains combat, assassination, intrigue, love, and war. Moreover, it embraces many of the important events of the time, culminating in the siege of Jerusalem by Titus and the fall of the Temple in A.D. 70.
