Summary

A。D。 57。 Battle-scarred veterans of the Roman army Tribune Cato and Centurion Macro return to Rome。 Thanks to the failure of their recent campaign on the eastern frontier they face a hostile reception at the imperial court。 Their reputations and future are at stake。

When Emperor Nero's infatuation with his mistress is exploited by political enemies， he reluctantly banishes her into exile。 Cato， isolated and unwelcome in Rome， is forced to escort her to Sardinia。

Arriving on the restless， simmering island with a small cadre of officers， Cato faces peril on three fronts: a fractured command， a deadly plague spreading across the province。。。and a violent insurgency threatening to tip the province into blood-stained chaos。

Have read better ones; weak storyline。

Cuando llegas a la decimonovena entrega de una saga poco se puede añadir a la reseña。 Esto es como un matrimonio que lleva 19 años juntos， ya no hay pasión pero sí un montón de confianza y， porque no decirlo， mucha confortable rutina。Scarrow sigue a lo suyo， con ese estilo funcional， sencillo pero efectivo que lo ha traído hasta aquí。 Aventuras de las legiones romanas y de nuestro protagonista principal， ni más ni menos。 Un toque clásico y un toque realístico/de crueldad que combinan a la perfec Cuando llegas a la decimonovena entrega de una saga poco se puede añadir a la reseña。 Esto es como un matrimonio que lleva 19 años juntos， ya no hay pasión pero sí un montón de confianza y， porque no decirlo， mucha confortable rutina。Scarrow sigue a lo suyo， con ese estilo funcional， sencillo pero efectivo que lo ha traído hasta aquí。 Aventuras de las legiones romanas y de nuestro protagonista principal， ni más ni menos。 Un toque clásico y un toque realístico/de crueldad que combinan a la perfección。Pues nada， si Dios， Scarrow y los editores quieren， seguiremos leyendo las aventuras de Cato y sus amigos， que la siguiente entrega tiene pintas de ser entretenida。。。 。。。more

Book ixx in the series sees Macro finally carry out his threat to retire from the legion leaving Cato alone when he is ‘gently persuaded’ to accompany an exile to Sardinia。 Whilst there Cato is also tasked with dealing with native tribesmen who are taking advantage of a pandemic to cause havoc with the business of Rome。 But will the marauders or the sickness prove to be the bigger problem？

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Great read， better than his last few。 The right time for Macro to leave the army and part ways with Cato， but I’m glad the cliffhanger at the end of the book means they will be reunited！！ Only downside was reading about ‘the pestilence’ - written in 2019 I’m sure this was influenced by COVID - like we weren’t fed up enough of reading about illnesses and quarantining etc

Peter ，

Slightly different style to this one， but still enjoyable。

Luca Cresta ，

Scarrow non ti delude mai: questa nuova avventura sarda vede per la seconda volta agire Catone senza il supporto di Macrone ma il ritmo della storia non ne risente。 C'è meno racconto bellico e più approfondimento dei personaggi: sembra rrivato il momneot di un cambiamento nel ciclo e forse dopo 19 romanzi questo è un bene。 Tuttavia pochi autori riescono a costruire un romanzo storico con la stessa autorevolezza di Scarrow senza mai scendere nel didascalico。 E questa nuova localizzazione in Sarde Scarrow non ti delude mai: questa nuova avventura sarda vede per la seconda volta agire Catone senza il supporto di Macrone ma il ritmo della storia non ne risente。 C'è meno racconto bellico e più approfondimento dei personaggi: sembra rrivato il momneot di un cambiamento nel ciclo e forse dopo 19 romanzi questo è un bene。 Tuttavia pochi autori riescono a costruire un romanzo storico con la stessa autorevolezza di Scarrow senza mai scendere nel didascalico。 E questa nuova localizzazione in Sardegna è veramente di ottimo livello。 。。。more

Björn ，

19 boken med Cato och Macro。 Denna gång fick inte Cato med sig sin vapendragare Macro。 Likväl lika spännande tycker jag。 Samma tema som tidigare böcker vilket jag gillar。

EstebanMaturin5 ，

Entretinidísima como el resto de la serie y con la incógnita de que pasa con Macro que no se descubre hasta las últimas páginas。 Esperando el libro XX， el honor de Roma。

It was ok。 Nothing special。 Only just scrapes into the 4-star zone。

Cato and Macro have returned from the East with around one third Of the Praetorian guard they had left with。 Cato has the unenviable task of reporting to the Emperor Nero on the campaign。 As is frequently the case he finds himself being manipulated by Roman aristocrats and to preserve the welfare of his family and himself he is sent to Sardinia with orders to suppress a group of friends who are causing problems for Rome on the island。 Before leaving on this mission Cato must part company with Ma Cato and Macro have returned from the East with around one third Of the Praetorian guard they had left with。 Cato has the unenviable task of reporting to the Emperor Nero on the campaign。 As is frequently the case he finds himself being manipulated by Roman aristocrats and to preserve the welfare of his family and himself he is sent to Sardinia with orders to suppress a group of friends who are causing problems for Rome on the island。 Before leaving on this mission Cato must part company with Macro who is retiring from the army and moving to Britain with his wife。On arrival in Sardinia， Cato is faced with undertrained and badly equipped troops as well as a deadly plague that is sweeping the island。 Despite these Cato is able to comp！eye his mission although this was very close run and came at personal cost to him。On return home to Rome， Cato is still far from safe from the politics of the capital and resolves to leave for a time for the same of his son。 The story closes with Cato setting out for Britain with his son and some of his household。 No doubt be and Macro will be reunited before long。 。。。more

Jonathon ，

Another fantastic installment of this series ， its coming to an end now and the hilarious grizzly old Macro was sorely missed。 Again it was an audio book and im glad that Mr Keeble has been a permanent fixture for theses last few books。

PTPrice ，

A new chapterAnd so begins life without centurion Macro。Sparrow excels again in his writing， introducing yet more complexity into Cato's world。Twists and turns throughout lead to a new and exciting side of our intrepid prefect。Well written and worthy of the previous books。 A new chapterAnd so begins life without centurion Macro。Sparrow excels again in his writing， introducing yet more complexity into Cato's world。Twists and turns throughout lead to a new and exciting side of our intrepid prefect。Well written and worthy of the previous books。 。。。more

Mr Jeffery ，

My first venture into Simon Scarrow， but I feel it will be worth reading some more。It is always difficult getting into characters who have clearly been developing over a long series of books。Well worth a read。

Marco Paganini ，

L’IMPERO SENZA CONFINI - SIMON SCARROWRECENSIONE: 6Ci sono sufficienze meritate ed a cine dettate dall’affetto。 Bene， io voglio bene a Simon Scarrow， o meglio a Catone e Macrone。Non il migliore degli episodi della serie， che forse inizia davvero ad aver dato troppo。La scrittura è sempre la stessa: piacevole e veloce。 La parte storica affronta la Sardegna e la sua storia ma non coglie appieno la profondità di questi popoli， anzi a tratti delude。Aspettiamo il prossimo…

rockingtilidrop ，

As per usual a great read

Giovanni Casula ，

Le avventure di Catone e Macrone sono sempre una garanzia， non stancano mai e ogni anno si attende il nuovo libro con piacere， soprattutto quest anno con un avventura ambientata in Sardegna！una lettura che riesce sempre a intrattenere， semplice ma mai banale。 Non do 5 stelle solo perché ho trovato le scene di battaglia un pò confusionarie certe volte。

Matthieu Marshall ，

It is a little funny to think that Simon Scarrow has written （and I have read） 19 books about the adventures of his two characters Cato and Macro in the Roman Army。 It goes without saying that there really isn't much original here， but Simon Scarrow certainly knows how to write these kind of books and they are entertaining and still a little gripping。 Clearly I personally find myself investing in the characters and am intrigued to read about what they get up to。The book ended in such a way that It is a little funny to think that Simon Scarrow has written （and I have read） 19 books about the adventures of his two characters Cato and Macro in the Roman Army。 It goes without saying that there really isn't much original here， but Simon Scarrow certainly knows how to write these kind of books and they are entertaining and still a little gripping。 Clearly I personally find myself investing in the characters and am intrigued to read about what they get up to。The book ended in such a way that the series could continue， but equally couldn't。 To be honest， it is probably best left to finish there， but lets see。 。。。more

Z dua Cato&Macron zůstala jen polovina， ale zdá se， že rozloučení není definitivní， pokud si dovolím odhadnout další pokračování série， která už pomalu vypadala， že se chýlí ke konci。 Cato má （kromě jiného） za úkol zpacifikovat vzpurné domorodé kmeny na Sardinii， ty mi ovšem ve srovnání s obvyklým průměrem jeho protivníků či jiných barbarských kmenů připadají poněkud druho či třetiřadí a měl jsem trochu problém uvěřit， že to dopadlo jako to dopadlo takhle poměrně hladce…

On the aftermath of the events of the previous book， Cato is sent on a mission to the isle of Sardana。 Besides accompanying a former mistress of Nero， he'll have to deal with a insurrection of local tribes。At the same time， the island is being ravaged by a plague （a clear influence of the current pandemic scenario， although without any of the polarizing discourses we have） and Cato we'll have to deal with them both。The outcome is not so different than usual， as expected since by the time I write On the aftermath of the events of the previous book， Cato is sent on a mission to the isle of Sardana。 Besides accompanying a former mistress of Nero， he'll have to deal with a insurrection of local tribes。At the same time， the island is being ravaged by a plague （a clear influence of the current pandemic scenario， although without any of the polarizing discourses we have） and Cato we'll have to deal with them both。The outcome is not so different than usual， as expected since by the time I write this Scarrow has already announced the next book in the saga。（view spoiler）[Truly different on the story is the fact that Macro is absent of the entire campaign in the wake of his announced retirement on the previous book。 （hide spoiler）]A known formula that works and allows us to spend some enjoyable time 。。。more

A good read。 Always plenty of action， pacify written and packed with detail。

This book is for 2021！Cato and Macro are separated for the first time; Macro is going to Britannia with his new wife Petronella to live with Macro's mother。 He has chosen his discharge and grew his backpay because it is time。 Cato， however， must stay in Rome and deal with the fallout from the failed campaigns in Armenia and Parthia。 He finds himself relieved of command of the Second Cohort and sent to escort one of Nero's former mistresses to her exile in Sardinia。 In addition to escorting Claud This book is for 2021！Cato and Macro are separated for the first time; Macro is going to Britannia with his new wife Petronella to live with Macro's mother。 He has chosen his discharge and grew his backpay because it is time。 Cato， however， must stay in Rome and deal with the fallout from the failed campaigns in Armenia and Parthia。 He finds himself relieved of command of the Second Cohort and sent to escort one of Nero's former mistresses to her exile in Sardinia。 In addition to escorting Claudia Acte， Cato is also given orders to put down the insurrection in the south of the island。 If that wasn't bad enough， a plague had broken out。I found this funny because we have a weakling in the White House （sorry， I should have said the Capitoline）， a plague， and civil unrest （AntiFa's ancestors）。 As Cato's new associate/spy Apollonius asked Cato: "How far can a good man succeed in a corrupt world？ I'd like to know the answer to that。"Scarrow does his homework and tries to be as historically accurate while taking some artistic license to tell a story。 Thus， you cannot really accuse Scarrow of using allegory。 However， he does stray into alternate history。 He did that in Eagles in the Sand and now this one。 If you read the actual history of Claudia Acte， her fate and backstory is different enough that you have to wonder whether there are two different Claudia Actes。 This one has much more Cato and very little Macro so it is a different dynamic。 Still worth reading and I finished this in 3 days。 。。。more
