Summary

The story opens on the day that the Western Roman Empire collapses finally in 470 AD, as the last emperor of Rome is encamped protected by the Nova Invicta Legion. All is lost in the space of a few minutes as a horde of Barbarians sweep through the camp in the fog, kill the Imperial family, and take the young emperor captive. The Roman Empire is in ruins. But all is not lost. From the dust of battlefields emerges a small team of invincible warriors: The Last Legion. Their task is to rescue the Emperor and his enigmatic tutor and to try and resurrect the glory of Rome.

The film stars Colin Firth, Sir Ben Kingsley, John Hannah, Kevin McKidd (of BBC2's Rome), and Aishwarya Rai. Shot on location in Tunisia, Slovakia, and Capri, this is a Dino De Laurentiis production, directed by Doug Lefler (Dragonheart: A New Beginning).

The Last Legion Audiobook on Audible.

I listened to this first on audiocassette and loved the story. It was exciting, investing and had a certain amount of historical truth in it as well. But this audiobook is abridged and the cassette set was unabridged giving the entire story as the author intended, and you cannot enjoy the abridged form as much once you've heard the unabridged form.

Great book

I brought this book on a spur of the moment not really knowing what to expect but to my surprise it was a great book and towards the end of the book the twist in the plot was great so keep them coming
