About this product

Product Information

Simon Scarrow's brilliant adventure novels about the Roman army appear with stunning new covers. It is 42 AD, and Quintus Licinius Cato has just arrived in Germany as a new recruit to the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. If adjusting to the rigours of military life isn t difficult enough for the bookish young man, he also has to contend with the disgust of his colleagues when, because of his imperial connections, he is appointed a rank above them. As second-in-command to Macro, the fearless, battle-scarred centurion who leads them, Cato will have more to prove than most in the adventures that lie ahead. Then the men discover that the army s next campaign will take them to a land of unparalleled barbarity - Britain. After the long march west, Cato and Macro undertake a special mission that will thrust them headlong into a conspiracy that threatens to topple the Emperor himself...

  • Great start to series

    First of series with Cato and Macro. Got this to replce my old copy which has fallen apart after many readings. This is the 1st of the series that is now approaching 20 volumes. Most can be read as stand alone stories but better to read in order

  • Brilliant

    This is the first of the tales of two Roman soldiers and the subsequent books follow their lives and careers until they retire. There is action from start to finish and you are kept on the edge of your seat with suspense.
