About this listen

 THE LEGION is the action-packed tenth novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell.

When the actions of a rebel gladiator in Egypt threaten the stability of the Roman Empire, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro know he must be stopped. The locals are holding the Romans responsible for the attacks and Ajax's crew have been making along the coast and now Egypt is dangerously volatile.

Tasked with tracking and defeating the renegade, Cato and Macro are soon hot on Ajax's trail, determined to destroy the enemy. But will the strength of a psychotically fatalist gladiator and his new-found allies, hell-bent on destruction, defeat the Roman warriors?©2010 Simon Scarrow Ancient Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Military Thriller & Suspense War & Military Scary Exciting Rome

Critic reviews

Praise for Simon Scarrow: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' (Bernard Cornwell)
Gripping... ferocious and compelling, it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice
A new book in Simon Scarrow's series about the Roman army is always a joy
Rollicking good fun
A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff
Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best
[Simon Scarrow] blends together historical facts and characters to create a book that simply cannot be put down... Highly recommended
All stars

our intrepid pair set off after Ajax scouring the Mediterranean off the coast of Egypt until finding the slaves base by chance. what follows is gripping bloody and tense. And there is trouble with a Nubian uprising as the chase travels up the Nile. OH and crocodiles.
