Histoire
The first book in the best-selling Conqueror series featuring Genghis Khan and his descendants. Temujin, the second son of the khan of the Wolves tribe, was only 11 when his father died in an ambush. His family were thrown out of the tribe and left alone, without food or shelter, to starve to death on the harsh Mongolian plains. It was a rough introduction to his life, to a sudden adult world, but Temujin survived, learning to combat natural and human threats.

Caratacus - quick-witted youngest son of a a tribal king - had been trained from birth to be a warrior of power and grit. Sent to be schooled by the Druids in his boyhood, his training meant that an already strong and cunning prince returned to his father's kingdom as a war machine.

Histoire
Until the mass hysteria of the seventeenth century, accusations of witchcraft in England were rare. However, four royal women, related in family and in court ties - Joan of Navarre, Eleanor Cobham, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, and Elizabeth Woodville - were accused of practicing witchcraft in order to kill or influence the king. In Royal Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives and the cases of these so-called witches, placing them in the historical context of 15th-century England, a setting rife with political upheaval and war.

A recipe for disappointment.
Even if the author didn't have a pseudo-Caesar as the protagonist, there would still be too many glaring historical innacuracies. Good historical fiction IS fiction, yes, but the fiction takes place between the gaps of what we know, creating a tale of "could have been," even if contrived. This book just deliberately messes with the known persons and timelines and sprinkles in anachronisms and other inaccuracies as seasoning. A recipe for disappointment, best tasted by readers with no knowledge of the Roman Republic.

thin characterizations, focus on fights and battle
Colleen Mcculough's Rome series is way more 3 dimensional. It is at the same time more enjoyable as fiction and more historically accurate. This book is ok, the performance is very good, were it any less good I wouldnt have bothered with the story. The narrative likes sword... um gladius strokes, way more than politics, or social history. I would estimate the word "gladius" is used 300 times in the first two books of this series, which I bought together.
There are no real discriptions of places, neither homes nor forts nor markets, there are no holidays or festivals, there are no debates. The one time we are invited to dine there is no food and no conversation, just the assertion that children should be still while eating and that Aurelia has a medical condition. This is what I mean by thin. The characterizations of men seem limited to how good they are at violence.
Aurelia, who is a favorite character in first man in rome, is reduced to a shadow, and a nasty one at that. Its the totally fictional bit players here that add interest for me. The historical figures are cardboardy. I dont see that this will get repeat listens
Having said all that, its not terrible, I am listening all the way through and I have not yet decided if I will finish the series, but that has more to do with the lack of new offeriings I want to hear just now than because I really like it. I wish audible would get the rights to sell the rest of the Mccullough books unabridged. And I cant wait for January when the new Ruso book comes out from Ruth Downie.
I am offering the comparison so that other listeners will understand my definition of great historical fiction. I know lots of people will see this as action packed and thrilling, its just not my favorite kind of thing

to live in Rome
What was it like to live in B.C. Rome. This book gives you the feeling that you are there. Conn puts you in the head of some of the most famous leaders of history. The book is entertaining from start to finish. There are no slow parts, no fillers, no bull. I will be buying the rest of the series.
This being fiction, Conn explains in the end what he did to write the story. I love authors who say something at the end about how and why they write what they write.
I liked the series about Genghis Khan just a slight better, but that is probably because I have always been more interested in China's history then in Rome's. This being the fourth book I have listened to written by CI, I do not believe you can go wrong. So pick which ever history you would like to live in and listen to that.

Another Conn Iggeldon winner
Having finished Iggeldon's six book Conquerer series about Genghis Khan, I was looking forward to having thre Emperor series still ahead of me. My initial thought was that this story can't possibly be as interesting as the story of Genghis, but it holds its own.
I'm writing this review having finished the whole series, and like the Conquerer series I'll rate the Emperor series as a whole, and as a whole it's a great story, well executed, and well performed. It's hard for me to imagine that anyone could possibly read this first book of the series and stop. If you buy this download, I guarantee you'll be buying the next three, and if you haven't read the Conquerer series, you'll be buying six more on top of that. You'll wish there were more.

Entertaining
I had trouble warming up to this book, but am glad I stuck with it. By the end of the book. I was enthralled with the characters. I thought they were developed in a way that drew my attention and made me want to read the next book in the series. I liked the epilogue explaining the historical inaccuracies and the writers reasoning behind them.

Fictional History at it best!
Conn did a wonderful job bringing an old story to some new heights. I am not sure how to understand the critics that say this story is not historicly accurate. "Of course it is not completely accurate"!!! That is why it is fiction. Maybe those critics are best to stay with just history and leave fiction to us with a good imagination I love Roman history as much, if not more than anyone...but I also love a good story that mixes both History and Fiction together. Well done Conn!!!

Entertainment Value
Some readers have complained that the "order of history" this book is based upon is not accurate. I don't see a problem with that. Fictional books are often written with nuggets of reality and factoids. One must remember that this book is a "work of fiction" and should be read for entertainment value. Folks wanting more accurate versions of reality for thesis quality research should look elsewhere for their timelines.
That said, this is a great book and I'm looking forward to the next Empire series.

Un-putdownable
Having read Iggulden's Ghenkis Khan series whilst in Outer Mongolia I see similarities with this series.
The writing is well-paced and well researched and characters are convincing.
I was transported for a couple of days and couldn't put it down.
The narration was excellent and enhanced the experience

Fast Moving Historical Fiction - Great Narration
Reminded me of a cross between Cornwell and Scarrow. If I had read (or listened to) Iggulden prior to Scarrow's work (I've only read Scarrow and listened to Iggulden works to date), I would have said that Scarrow was a cross between Cornwell and Iggulden. The fast moving, action-packed buddy-based story lines track in similar fashion as with all three of these authors. There is reasonable historical basis in Iggulden's work, as with the others. Emperor seems to take a quite a bit more license with regard to characters, but then, as the historical note states - we know little of Caesar's early life. Why not make him an early childhood pal of another historical character who would play a significant role later in his life? It is historical fiction, after all. Dialogue reminds me of Patrick O'Brien and Cornwell's Sharpe's series - feels a bit out of place for structure of Latin of the age and there's the modern phrase or two. Imagine yourself watching a movie with British actors and modern sentence structure - as opposed to what screenwriters for the 'Rome' and 'Spartacus' made-for-television series seem to have done. I think the dialogue was fine, though. Narrator was well-cast and his reading well-performed. I will be aware of and search out narration by Glenister again - for this series and for other works.
