Under the Eagle A Tale of Military Adventure and Reckless Heroism With the Roman Legions

It is the year 42 AD, and Centurion Macro, battle-scarred and fearless, is in the heart of Germany with the Second Legion, the toughest in the Roman army. Cato, a new recruit and the newly appointed second-in-command to Macro, will have more to prove than most. In a bloody skirmish with local tribes, Cato gets his first chance to prove that he's more than a callow, privileged youth. As their next campaign takes them to a land of unparalleled barbarity - Britain - a special mission unfolds, thrusting Cato and Macro headlong into a conspiracy that threatens to topple the Emperor himself.Scarrow, Simon is the author of 'Under the Eagle A Tale of Military Adventure and Reckless Heroism With the Roman Legions', published 2002 under ISBN 9780312304249 and ISBN 0312304242.
