The Eagle and the wolves - Simon Scarrow

AS THE ROMAN ARMIES invading Britain face bitter resistance

In the summer of AD 44, tense undercurrents amongst the tribe of nominally friendly Atrebatans are ready to explode into open revolt.

It falls to centurions Macro and Cato to provide aged ruler Verica with an army, training his tribal levies to protect their king and enforce his rule. With a scratch force of raw recruits, unversed in the techniques of war, they must find and destroy a resourceful and cunning opponent. But can they do this whilst surviving the deadly cross-currents of plotters threatening to destroy not only Macro and Cato, but all their comrades serving with the Eagles?

Praise for Simon Scarrow's previous tales of military adventure:

'A thoroughly enjoyable read... The engrossing storyline is full of teeth-clenching battles, political machinations, treachery, honour, love and death' Elizabeth Chadwick
