Formats & Editions
The city of Rome. The most dangerous place in the Empire. The fates of military heroes Macro and Cato lie in Emperor Nero's bloody hands . . .
AD 62. Under the reckless and tumultuous leadership of Emperor Nero, Rome is descending into near-anarchy and conspiracy. The brutal execution of 400 slaves has led to rioting. Only the strongest soldier could maintain control. And so Nero turns to Prefect Cato to save his reign from collapse.
Cato has been lying low after a heroic campaign to quash the Boudica uprising. Now he is called upon to serve again. As the new Prefect of the Urban Cohorts, Cato needs a loyal and proven officer by his side. Centurion Macro is willing to step up.
War and rebellion hold few fears for these seasoned veterans. But the politics and intrigue of Rome make every day as perilous as the battlefield. And the fates of both men, and of the empire, lie in the hands of the most volatile emperor of the age. Death awaits anyone who dares to defy Nero.
Cato and Macro will need all their experience, native cunning and bottomless courage to survive in this epic new adventure of Roman military heroism.
FIGHT WITH THE ROMAN ARMY.
PROTECT THE EMPIRE.
