Overview
Step into the blood and dust of the Roman legions with this five-book paperback collection from Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller Simon Scarrow. Following soldiers Cato and Macro from the eastern frontier to the heart of Rome, this set brings together five pivotal instalments of the acclaimed Eagles of the Empire series. Perfect for fans of military history and political intrigue, this brand new collection is an unmissable addition to any historical fiction shelf.
About the Books
This collection gathers five thrilling chapters in Simon Scarrow's Eagles of the Empire saga, following centurions Cato and Macro through the eastern provinces and back to Rome. In The Eagle in the Sand, the pair are posted to Judaea on a dangerous 'hearts and minds' mission as rebellion simmers among the locals. Centurion sees the two soldiers, tested by countless missions together, demand bravery and discipline from their men as unrest threatens the empire's eastern border. In The Gladiator, a shipwreck strands Macro and Cato in Crete, where they discover a town devastated by a rebel gladiator's brutal campaign. The Legion takes the action to Egypt, where the same rebel threatens to destabilise the wider empire and the Romans are blamed for the chaos along the coast. Finally, Praetorian plunges the pair into the treachery of Rome itself in AD 51, as a shadowy conspiracy within the Praetorian Guard threatens the emperor's life, and Imperial Secretary Narcissus turns to his two most trusted men to root out the traitors. Together, these five novels showcase Scarrow's meticulous research and relentless pacing, blending real history with vivid battle scenes and the enduring friendship between two soldiers who have survived against impossible odds. Ideal for readers working through the series in order or newcomers wanting a substantial introduction to Scarrow's Roman world.
