Summary
43 AD. Centurion Macro and his young subordinate, Optio Cato, arrive on British soil as one of Emperor Claudius's invasion force. In a series of bloody skirmishes, Macro and the desperately outnumbered Roman army must find and defeat the enemy… before he grows strong enough to overwhelm them. When rumours of an assassination attempt coincide with the Emperor's arrival in Britain, the soldiers realise they are up against another force - one more ruthless than their acknowledged enemy. Sequel to "Under the eagle" (DC37658), followed by "When the eagle hunts" (DC39137). Some descriptions of sex and violence, explicit strong language. 2002. (Eagle series ; 2)
