The Eagle's Prophecy - first UK edition

by Simon Scarrow - signed

Fifth in the collected series of life among the Roman legions, this novel sees veteran officer Macro and recently appointed centurion Cato with the crack Second Legion under the precarious leadership of Centurion Maximus. It's their task to hold a ford across the river Tamesis when the natives are forced into a trap. But Maximus's nerve breaks at the critical point, allowing the enemy leader, Caratacus, and his men to escape. Outraged by this failure, General Plautius orders the decimation of the unit. Their choice: die, or escape to become a fugitive pursued by soldiers of their own ruthless army. Hiding from their former comrades, as well as the Britons, Cato's small band of fugitives have only one chance to redeem themselves before they are hunted down like animals...
