The Parthian

Parthian Chronicles series, Book 1

By: Peter Darman

Narrated by: Michael Page

When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories, Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains, and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. 

But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. 

But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?

Captivating

Well written and well narrated. Keeps u engaged. Excellent narrator, long story but you don’t get bored

Enjoyable historical fiction

Enthralling story of Spartacus seen through the eyes of a Parthian prince. The POV character is likable and the war tactics interesting. Very entertaining read despite so creative license with historical details. Readers performance is great too.

great
