Summary

The gripping and action-packed new Roman army adventure in the Eagles of the Empire series by Sunday Times best-selling author Simon Scarrow. The perfect listen for fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell.

Tribune Cato and Centurion Macro, hardened veterans of the Roman army, have faced the empire's enemies from Britannia to Parthia, from Hispania to Judea. Now once again they are on a mission that will imperil their lives and those of all who serve with them. Loyal to the last to their comrades in battle, fearless in the face of the most brutal or barbaric opponents, they are the finest men the emperor can call on in the service of Rome.

Excellent read

Well I was wondering how it was going to work out without the dynamic duo. Enjoyed the characters and Cato on his own made for a great change.
Excellent narration as always and loved the story line. Must read

The moment we knew was coming has arrived

Loved the book, mid way through it certainly tugged at my heart strings and I didnt know how it would carry on. The addition of Appalonius as one of the major players was great and the end of the book has me eagerly awaiting the next one..... Im sure Boudicca will be playing a major part in the next time

No Macro!!

Not the same without the interplay between the stars - but a fast-paced story with the usual excellent narration.

Another enjoyable adventure expertly narrated.

This is a well crafted adventure featuring Cato without his faithful brother-in-arms Macro by his side. The author moves on Cato's personal story to take him down a new path; meanwhile his army career confronts him with new challenges which tests his leadership skills, ingenuity, and instinct for survival. Once again, Jonathan Keeble's brilliant narration brings the story to life and keeps the level of excitement and drama high throughout. It is a very enjoyable listen.

"Disguises come in many forms."

After a considerable absence, I have again reunited with the intrepid Roman army friends, Cato and Macro. And what a pleasure it is. Having always previously read the print editions, it was with some trepidation that, this time, I listened to the Audiobook narrated by Jonathan Keeble. There was no need for concern: his performance was superb, flowing with the action be it military or more personal, investing emotion where needed and generally carrying the reader through the trials and tribulations of sickness and war in Sardinia. And, of course, every protagonist is given a personal, unique voice (and an added amusement was one, Claudia, sounded very much like Julian Clarey).

As a fan of books set in the ancient Roman era, I have delighted in Simon Scarrow's eagle series since book one, when Cato and Macro first met.. Now in Book 19 of the series, it is every bit as good: great characters, good story lines, atmospheric, told with a deceptively simple feel of the present which provides a vivid sense of being there.
A definite recommendation.
