Klappentext
CATO AND MACRO ARE ARMED TO THE HILT FOR THE EPIC 25TH ADVENTURE IN THE EAGLES OF THE EMPIRE SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR
Twenty years have passed since the raw recruit Cato faced Centurion Macro on the training ground. Now scarred heroes of the Roman army's toughest conflicts, they are the first choice when Emperor Nero's top general, Corbulo, needs the best for a dangerous mission.
Over a thousand miles from Rome, on northern coastline of the Euxine Sea, a city's people face massacre as the Scythian Empire pushes back against Nero's wild ambitions.
The journey alone would break lesser men. And at their destination is a scene of carnage and approaching famine, while an army far greater in number than the Roman force gathers for the finish . . .
Always in Cato's mind is the terrible image of his last hours in Rome: the fearful faces of his wife and son, and Macro's wife, held as hostages against his failure. The fate of countless Roman citizens, and of everyone Cato cares about, lies in his hands.

Biografie
Simon Scarrow lebt im englischen Norfolk, wo er als College-Dozent Geschichte lehrt. Als ein großer Verehrer der Romane von Cornwell, Forester und O'Brian und ausgewiesener Kenner des Römischen Reichs beschloss Scarrow eines Tages, das zu schreiben, was er selbst gerne lesen würde: packende Abenteuerromane vor dem Hintergrund der römischen Invasion in Britannien im Jahre 43 n. Chr.
