Legionary: Land of the Sacred Fire: Legionary Book 3

Written by Gordon Doherty

Narrated by Adrian Hobart

377 AD: When Optio Numerius Vitellius Pavo and a select group of the XI Claudia are summoned to the Persian front, they leave Thracia behind, knowing little of what awaits them. They know only that they are to march into a burning land of strange gods. They whisper tales of the mighty Persian Savaran cavalry and pray to Mithras they will see their homes and families again. All too soon it becomes clear to them that this is no ordinary mission - indeed, the very fate of the empire might rest upon their efforts. But for Pavo the burden is weightier still, for he knows that the east also holds something even more precious to him . . . the truth about his father.

Gordon Doherty

I'm a Scottish writer, addicted to reading and writing historical fiction.My love of history was first kindled by visits to the misty Roman ruins of Britain and the sun-baked antiquities of Turkey and Greece. My expeditions since have taken me all over the world and back and forth through time (metaphorically, at least), allowing me to write tales of the later Roman Empire, Byzantium, Classical Greece and even the distant Bronze Age.

Reviews for Legionary

[Tanya Szymberski · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a page turner (figuratively speaking)! Although I have only read the first three books of the series, this one is my favorite one so far. Narrator did a decent job on the various characters, though the accents could have been better, which is the only negative thing I have to say about this book.
