Description
The Sunday Times bestseller
AD 54. Claudius is dead. Rome is in turmoil. And two brave heroes of the Roman army face the challenge of their lives.
Simon Scarrow's DAY OF THE CAESARS is not to be missed by readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell. 'A new book in Simon Scarrow's series about the Roman army is always a joy' The Times
The Emperor Claudius is dead. Nero rules. His half-brother Britannicus has also laid claim to the throne. A bloody power struggle is underway.
All Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro want is a simple army life, fighting with their brave and loyal men. But Cato has caught the eye of rival factions determined to get him on their side. To survive, Cato must play a cunning game, and enlist the help of the one man in the Empire he can trust: Macro.
As the rebel force grows, legionaries and Praetorian Guards are moved like chess pieces by powerful and shadowy figures. A political game has created the ultimate military challenge. Can civil war be averted? The future of the Empire is in Cato's hands...
IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIMON SCARROW, YOU DON'T KNOW ROME!

The 16th book in Simon Scarrow's Eagle series sees our hero's Macro & Cato return to the political cesspit of Rome. After a few books away campaigning back in Britain and Spain, the return to the eternal city gives us a book with a much tighter, centralised plot. This one reads as more of a thriller/action story than the usual military campaign book. Its a nice change of pace, and with the added personal threat to Cato's family, we see a continuation of Cato's hardening, while at the same time Macro seems to be easing towards his retirement.
Its a great read, hard to put down just as i've come to expect from Scarrow. It looks like the boys are all set to travel to Parthia next, so bring on next year!
