Formats & Editions
CATO AND MACRO ARE ARMED TO THE HILT FOR THE EPIC 25TH ADVENTURE IN THE EAGLES OF THE EMPIRE SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Twenty years have passed since Macro and Cato met on the training ground. Now they are veterans of the army's toughest campaigns. Surely Emperor Nero, who owes them his life, will let them put their swords aside? But Praetorian Prefect Tigellinus wants them far from Rome, and Nero's protection.
Nero's volatile ally King Cotys is beset by enemies. His defeat could threaten Rome's peace with mighty Parthia. If the two Roman officers survive the journey east through waters controlled by cutthroat pirates, they will be forced to deal with a cold-hearted despot and wage war on a horde of barbarian warriors.
From the teeming back streets of Rome to the dangerous, distant palace of a mad king, Cato and Macro face the unexpected, the treacherous and the deadly. And the fate of countless Roman citizens, and of everyone they care about, lies in their hands.
