Simon Scarrow Libri

È la primavera del 45 d.C. e i centurioni Macrone e Catone, congedati dalla seconda legione, sono in attesa che un'indagine ufficiale chiarisca il loro coinvolgimento nella morte di un commilitone. Proprio allora il segretario imperiale, il viscido Narciso, fa loro un'offerta che non possono rifiutare: se vogliono uscire puliti dalla faccenda, i due centurioni dovranno salvare un agente imperiale rapito dai pirati al largo della costa illirica e recuperare alcune pergamene di vitale importanza. In gioco ci sono la salvezza dell'imperatore e il futuro di Roma. Ma con loro Narciso manda anche Vitellio, nemico di vecchia data dei due centurioni. I tre ufficiali salpano da Ravenna con la flotta imperiale, ma vengono attaccati dai pirati, che qualcuno deve aver informato della missione... Sovrastati dal nemico e accusati di tradimento, Catone e Macrone dovranno lottare su più fronti per riuscire a scongiurare una catastrofe che potrebbe distruggere il cuore stesso dell'Impero.

Roman Britain, AD 52. The western tribes, inspired by the Druids' hatred of the Romans, prepare to make a stand. But can they match the discipline and courage of the legionaries? Wounded during a skirmish, Centurion Macro remains behind in charge of the fort as Prefect Cato leads an invasion deep into the hills. Cato's mission: to cement Rome's triumph over the natives by crushing the Druid stronghold. But with winter drawing in, the terrain is barely passable through icy rain and snowstorms. When Macro's patrols report that the natives in the vicinity of the garrison are thinning out, a terrible suspicion takes shape in the battle-scarred soldier's mind. Has the acting Governor, Legate Quintatus, underestimated the enemy, his military judgement undermined by ambition? If there is a sophisticated and deadly plan afoot, it's Cato and his men who will pay the price.Includes maps and charts.
