A Second Tale of Military Adventure and Reckless Heroism with the Roman Legions.
When Centurion Lucius Cornelius macro arrives on the shores of Britain as part of the Emperor Claudius's invasion in the summer of AD 43, he knows he is facing one of the toughest campaigns of his long, battle-scarred career. But nothing could have prepared him for the ferocious brutality and tenacious bravery of the British warriors.
In a series of bloody battles, under the eagle of the Second Legion, Macro and his young subordinate, Optio Cato, and the desperately outnumbered Roman army must find and defeat the enemy before he can grow strong enough to overwhelm the legions.
But the Britons are not the only danger facing Macro and Cato. An enemy far more ruthless than their acknowledged foe is plotting against them. As Claudius's glorious victory looks set to turn to disaster, they know they must act quickly. But time is running out.
