Synopsis
It is 43 AD, and Centurion Lucius Cornelius Macro is based in Germany with the Second Legion. Battle-scarred and fearless, Macro is prepared to lead his men against any foe, but even he is shocked to discover that the army's next campaign will take them to a land of unparalleled barbarity - Britain. Quintus Licinus Cato is a new recruit, and the regulars are disgusted when he is appointed second-in-command to Macro because of his connections to the imperial court in Rome; Cato will have more to prove than most in the adventures that lie ahead. In a bloody skirmish with the local German tribes, Cato gets his first chance to show that he's more than a callow youth. And then comes the long march west, and a special mission which will thrust Cato and Macro headlong into a conspiracy that threatens to topple the emperor himself...

Review
Praise for Simon Scarrow: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' (Bernard Cornwell)
A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff (Good Book Guide)
Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best (Independent)
Gripping... ferocious and compelling, it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice (Daily Express)
Rollicking good fun (Mail on Sunday)
[Simon Scarrow] blends together historical facts and characters to create a book that simply cannot be put down... Highly recommended (Historical Novels Review)
I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read (Bernard Cornwell)
'Historically very accurate... The story also moves along very nicely, with plenty of action, and has a pretty twisty plot. If Cornwell or Forester is your idea of good reading, give this one a try' South Wales Argus
'A good story well written is a pleasure to read. Scarrow does this and more in his debut historical novel... Tightly paced... Fans of the historical novel... will appreciate Scarrow's detailed research' Cambridgeshire Journal
A thoroughly enjoyable read. The characters are so lifelike they almost spring off the page... An engrossing storyline, full of teeth-clenching battles, political machinations, treachery, honour, love and death (Elizabeth Chadwick)
Book Description
In the tradition of Bernard Cornwell's SHARPE series, a novel of millitary adventure and reckless heroism with the Roman legions in 43AD- 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' Bernard Cornwell
