The eleventh novel in the Roman series from much-loved author Simon Scarrow
The thrilling Roman adventure from the author of THE LEGION and THE GLADIATOR. The city of Rome in AD 50 is a dangerous place. Treachery lurks on every corner, and a shadowy Republican movement, 'the Liberators', has spread its tentacles wide. It is feared that the heart of the latest plot lies in the ranks of the Praetorian Guard. Uncertain of whom he can trust, the Imperial Secretary Narcissus summons to Rome two courageous men guaranteed to be loyal to the grave: army veterans Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro.
Tasked with infiltrating the Guard, Cato and Macro face a daunting test to win the trust of their fellow soldiers. No sooner have they begun to unearth the details of the Liberators' devious plan than disaster strikes: an old enemy who could identify them, with deadly consequences, makes an unexpected appearance. Now they face a race against time to save their own lives before they can unmask the mastermind behind the Liberators...
Simon Scarrow
Simon Scarrow pursued his great love of history as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. His Roman soldier heroes Cato and Macro first appeared in 2000 in Under The Eagle, and have subsequently fought their way through over twenty novels, including Rebellion, Death to the Emperor and Centurion.
Simon is also the author of the Criminal Inspector Schenke thrillers, Dead of Night and Blackout, set in Berlin during the Second World War, as well as: the Wellington and Napoleon quartet, chronicling the lives of the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte; Sword & Scimitar, the epic tale of the 1565 Siege of Malta; and Hearts Of Stone, set in Greece during the Second World War. He is the co-author with T. J. Andrews of Roman era bestsellers Pirata, Invader and Arena, and the co-author with Lee Francis of the contemporary thriller Playing With Death.
