Publisher's Summary

Roman Britain, AD 52. The western tribes, inspired by the Druids' hatred of the Romans, prepare to make a stand. But can they match the discipline and courage of the legionaries?

Wounded during a skirmish, Centurion Macro remains behind in charge of the fort as Centurion Cato leads an invasion deep into the hills. Cato's mission: to cement Rome's triumph over the natives by crushing the Druid stronghold. But with winter drawing in, the terrain is barely passable through icy rain and snowstorms.

When Macro's patrols report that the natives in the vicinity of the garrison are thinning out, a terrible suspicion takes shape in the battle-scarred soldier's mind. Has the acting Governor, Legate Quintatus, underestimated the enemy, his military judgement undermined by ambition? If there is a sophisticated and deadly plan afoot, it's Cato and his men who will pay the price.

Tragedy finds,a home

PooR Cato, how can he take much more ? He's a true hero and in this book he has to deal with so much going wrong, it could easily have been his last chapter but thankfully he defeats the odds and escaped to live another day. A good story with lots happening.

Waiting the next book

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I found listening instead of reading a whole new experience. Enjoyed it and will look for more audio versions. I'v read the whole series so far and enjoyed them all. With audio books you can carry them in your phone. Most convenient .

If you’ve listened to books by Simon Scarrow before, how does this one compare?

First book

What does Jonathan Keeble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Different voices.

Did Britannia inspire you to do anything?

Yes looking forward to the next book. Great series.

A continuous master piece from the master himself.

Simon Scarrow brings more of the ancient world to life in another great episode of Cato and Macro.
