About this listen

Roman Britain, AD 52. The western tribes, inspired by the Druids' hatred of the Romans, prepare to make a stand. But can they match the discipline and courage of the legionaries?

Wounded during a skirmish, Centurion Macro remains behind in charge of the fort as Centurion Cato leads an invasion deep into the hills. Cato's mission: to cement Rome's triumph over the natives by crushing the Druid stronghold. But with winter drawing in, the terrain is barely passable through icy rain and snowstorms.

When Macro's patrols report that the natives in the vicinity of the garrison are thinning out, a terrible suspicion takes shape in the battle-scarred soldier's mind. Has the acting Governor, Legate Quintatus, underestimated the enemy, his military judgement undermined by ambition? If there is a sophisticated and deadly plan afoot, it's Cato and his men who will pay the price.

Live the narrator, he adds so much life to Kato and macro. The story is good, drags on slightly, we get it...it's snowing... I thought the ending was weak to be honest.

Good story, weak ending

This is book 217 or something in the series so it’s a bit of a miracle it hasn’t run out of steam or totally jumped the shark. The main characters are likeable and it’s easy to be invested in what happens to them. The background characters ring the changes nicely with some recurring and others less fortunately taking the same role as red-shirted crewmen in Star Trek. The adventure in this book is quite downbeat and would make a stunningly brave end to any series of novels but since I’m about to add 218 to my wish list, I’m guessing we’ll all be ok for a while.

A series still going strong.
