Summary

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

Bro simon scarrow is writing the best roman series of all time but he needs to make a big change in this book especially if he doesn't make the storyline progress a lot more。 Cato has been a prefect this whole time for 20 books。 Cato got to be a legate or a senator or something。 。 And stop hyping up macros wife she would get bodied。 Bro the 11th book Praetorian was a masterpiece a work of art。 The 19th book was good but who cares what happens on some little island in the middle of nowhere。 This Bro simon scarrow is writing the best roman series of all time but he needs to make a big change in this book especially if he doesn't make the storyline progress a lot more。 Cato has been a prefect this whole time for 20 books。 Cato got to be a legate or a senator or something。 。 And stop hyping up macros wife she would get bodied。 Bro the 11th book Praetorian was a masterpiece a work of art。 The 19th book was good but who cares what happens on some little island in the middle of nowhere。 This book summary is looking like so unimportant mission again。 Cato got a girl now and please make her interesting bro because right now she is not giving me Annabeth Percy vibes or nothing like a real love story。 Like dam Simon you are a goat but right now we are 20 books deep in the greatest series of all time and I'm like Simon why are we reading books on little islands when Cato and macro done fought the whole world。 Make Cato a legate Macro a camp prefect and start playing real politics especially when the 4 emperors war starts。 And Simon bro there is already 10 books series on this exact time period you better pull a dam Caesar and Egypt if you plan on making end this book series with justice。 But Simon really is the GOAT of roman empire books and everyone knows it, this series is the meta for all other roman series。 Simon the gladiator series was amazing write a 5th book。 Simon is a goat, but I'm starting to really start getting on him! Make Cato a dam legate and don't follow all the other storylines for the 4 year war。 We all know Roman history is so twisted that the whole thing is a lie。 There was magic going on and real wars over stuff we cant comprehend back then and Simon knows it but he scared of the Powers of this world。 Simon tell them the truth about what happen in Jerusalem in 70 ad。 But you wont because your a sellout bitch like everyone in this world。 。。。more
