Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Readers whose appetite for ancient history has been whetted by the film Gladiator will devour this spectacular tale of intrigue, adventure, and glory in the Roman legions. When Quintus Licinius Cato, a formerly pampered imperial slave, is forced to join the army, the other members of the Second Legion doubt he will be able to adapt to their harsh lifestyle. Proving himself to Centurion Lucius Cornelius Macro in the heart of battle against the Germans, Cato earns both his freedom and the respect of his commander. Landing in Britain as part of an expeditionary force, Cato and Macro attempt to foil a traitorous plot involving unbridled political ambitions and a concealed cache of gold. This enthralling historical drama is distinguished by its meticulously detailed portrayal of life in the mighty Roman army. Margaret Flanagan

Product Description
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.
