The Emperor Claudius is dead. Nero rules. His half-brother Britannicus has also laid claim to the throne. A bloody power struggle is underway.

All Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro want is a simple army life, fighting with their brave and loyal men. But Cato has caught the eye of rival factions determined to get him on their side. To survive, Cato must play a cunning game, and enlist the help of the one man in the Empire he can trust: Macro.

As the rebel force grows, legionaries and Praetorian Guards are moved like chess pieces by powerful and shadowy figures. A political game has created the ultimate military challenge. Can civil war be averted? The future of the empire is in Cato's hands...

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Simon Scarrow's novels: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' (Bernard Cornwell)

Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best

Gripping and moving

[Simon Scarrow] blends together historical facts and characters to create a book that simply cannot be put down... Highly recommended

A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff

Rollicking good fun

A new book in Simon Scarrow's long-running series about the Roman army is always a joy

one of the best

one of the best from my favorite author Simon Scarrow! very very very good indeed

Hail Simon Scarrow!

Of course book 16 in the Eagles of Empire series is great! Simon Scarrow continues his wonderful tales of Cato and Macro, and the narrator, Jonathan Keebler, does his consistently excellent narration to perfection.

As always, incredible!

Simon Scarrow is at my top of favorite writers alongside Bernard Cornwell. I get from one that the other doesn’t provide and visa versa. This book, like all of the others, has clever story lines and it makes you believe it with every detail. I particularly love the dynamics with the main characters, Cato and Macro. They balance one another out and continue to fight together whether it’s barbarians, politicians or even personal matters, it develops as one story. I like how Nero is portrayed and how it plays out. If you’re questioning if you should read or listen to this one, I urge you to give it a shot.

you will be engrossed in the story from page one

Awesome! captivating, mind blowing, master crafted and told in a such a way to bring the reader to a compelling crescendo! you just can't put the book down. you almost feel like you should hear it all at one sitting

Simon Scarrow still amazing!

Cato and Macro adventures is one of my favorite historical fictions. Simon Scarrow allows you really visualize the actions taking place with very little words. I have read or listened to most historical fiction authors. In my opinion he surpasses even Bernard Cornwell with his ability to keep you inticed with the story and wanting more. The preform did a really good job also in using different word pronunciation to emphasize different character attributes.
