Summary
44 AD. Roman legions are in their second year of campaigning against the British tribes, and Centurions Macro and Cato are with the crack Second Legion under the precarious leadership of Centurion Maximus. When Maximus’s nerve breaks at a critical… point, allowing the enemy leader Caratacus and his men to escape a trap, General Plautius orders the annihilation of the unit. Their choice: die or escape to become fugitives pursued by soldiers of their own ruthless army. Hiding from their former comrades, as well as the Britons, Cato’s small band of fugitives have only one chance to redeem themselves before they are hunted down like animals. Explicit descriptions of violence, explicit strong language. 2005, c2004.
