Macro, Cato and Vespasian are back in another rousing adventure in Britain, 43AD.

This time Emperor Claudius shows up to lead the troops, Vespasian's wife is keeping secrets and Cato gets himself and Macro involved in the political intrigues of the emperors court.

There were enough battles, fights and intrigues to keep the book moving at a steady pace and keep my attention.

The second book that follows Macro and Cato is almost as good as the first, but not quite. Here we see Cato really finding out what it's like to be a man - standing on his own two feet, suffering betrayal, triumph and yet more betrayal...

Scarrow never fails to keep me hooked, with Macro's skill and brutality, and Cato's underlying bravery - and I can really see his characters growing and look forward to reading more.
