Death to the Emperor: The thrilling new Eagles of the Empire novel - Macro and Cato return!

Product Information

Death to the Emperor is a captivating book full of heroism and sacrifice that brings Boudica and the Iceni vividly to life. This is really part 1 of a 2 part telling of the Boudicca Uprising, largely using a 2 perspective narrative with Cato on Anglesey/Mona and the suppression of the Druids and Ordovicians by Suetonius, while Macro is largely in Camulodonum with the other veterans, reaping the whirlwind of Roman officials' "mishandling" of Boudicca and the Iceni. Feel bad for what Cato will be going through, I don't want to imagine how he'll feel if Macro of Lucius don't make it.

Macro seems settled and is hoping to enjoy his retirement in Britannia with his wife Petronella whilst Cato goes off to put an end to the Druid uprising for good. Once again, Simon Scarrow has written a great Roman adventure based in Britannia with Macro and Cato find new adventures.Although this is my first introduction to Centurion Macro and Prefect Cato, I loved their partnership borne of mutual respect and a soldierly comradeship forged in the heat of battle.
