A stunning novel of courage, camaraderie and deadly enemies from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Centurion and The Emperor's Exile.

AD 58. BRITANNIA. TENSION IS SIMMERING. DANGER LIES ROUND EVERY CORNER FOR ROME'S BRAVE SOLDIERS ...

Fifteen years after Rome's invasion of Britannia, centurion Marco is back. The island is settled now, bustling with commerce. Macro's goal is to help run his mother's Londinium inn, and exploit his land grant. He's prepared for the dismal weather and the barbaric ways of the people. But far worse dangers threaten all his plans.

A gang led by an ex-legionary rules the city, demanding protection money and terrorising those who won't pay up. The Roman official in charge has turned a blind eye. Macro has to act. He needs the back-up of the finest soldier he knows: Prefect Cato. But Cato is in distant Rome. Or is he?

As the streets run red with blood, the army's heroes face an enemy as merciless and cunning as any barbarian tribe. The honour of Rome is in their hands ...

For readers of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden and Ben Kane - unputdownable fiction from an author who knows the Roman world like no other.

Doesn’t get any better than this! Brilliantly read by Jonathan Keeble who brings all the characters and voices to life. Didn’t want the book to finish . Shall await the next one. Can’t come out too soon for me. Wonderful experience and so cleverly written

I have read all of Cato and Macro's adventures across the Roman Empire and am a big fan of the storytelling and this book again hits the spot. Back to Britannia, meet up again with Boudicca of the Iceni for more breathless adventures, just when Macro was getting ready to enjoy his retirement and Cato wanting to escape the attention of Nero back in Rome.
My only gripe is that the narrator, who, for me, got the male roles about right, gave Macro's mother a voice that really jarred for me. It was not in my opinion like an old woman's voice
Look forward to the next book in the series

Another enjoyable adventure with Cato and Macro

A different storyline to previous books. Life and problems for retired Macro in Londonium. Read the dangers, undesirables and problems.

Totally enjoyed this book,

The only bad thing I have to say about this series is that I hate having to wait for the next release.
