Nobody Loves a Centurion by John Maddox Roberts
4.0
Another entertaining read (I keep saying that). Our hero is now in Gaul, facing untold numbers of Gauls and Germans, with only a desire to be elsewhere, but maintaining well the facade of a Roman noble.
The story: a nasty first spear centurion is found murdered outside the camp of the 10th legion. A dozen legionaries are facing death, at the hands of their comrades, as the guilty parties, unless Decius can find the truth. He does so, and discovers terrible betrayal. The centurion had sold our Caesar to the Germans, but in turn had been discovered and executed by Caesar.
At the very nick of time, at the last minute, fleeing captivity by the German King, Decius races back to Caesar, blames the Druids, and secures the release of the legionaries.
Entertaining (did I say that already?).
