About this listen

 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.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIMON SCARROW, YOU DON'T KNOW ROME

I love these books by Simon Scarrow and really enjoy hearing them as audio books. Macro and Cato are great characters and I have followed their exploits through many miles of marching with the legions. The story telling is vivid and the battle and skirmish scenes are no holds barred. I'm definitely a fan and if you enjoy historical fiction you would do well to give them a try.

The Romans are coming!

To my fellow followers of Cato and Macro. DO NOT READ THE REVIEWS for the next book (Death to the emperor) until you have read the book itself as some useless, arrogant and selfish tw*t has spoiled several key happenings in the book. I have reported the comments but I am unsure if "spoiling" is against the rules so I don't know if they will remove it.
Its amazing how thick some people are. (or evil, but I am assuming this is just ignorance and not with malicious intent)
What ever the reason, Thank you for ruining my day.

This was very exiting.
