Publisher's Summary
The gripping new Cato and Macro adventure in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series, not to be missed by readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell.
It is AD 55. As trouble brews on the eastern fringes of the Roman Empire, Tribune Cato and Centurion Macro must prepare for war . . .
The wily Parthian Empire has invaded Armenia, a frontier territory claimed by Rome, ousting King Rhadamistus. The king is ambitious and ruthless, but he is vital to Rome's strategic interests. General Corbulo must restore him to power, while also readying the troops for war with the powerful Parthian Empire. Corbulo orders new arrivals Cato and Macro, and their elite cohort of Praetorian Guards, to carry out the task.
Marching into unmapped and unfamiliar terrain to restore an unpopular king is a perilous mission. Allies cannot be trusted and foes lurk on all sides. The bravery and skill of the Roman army will be tested to the limit . . .

good story but poor production
Many times sections were repeated. It may have been just a sentence or even a paragraph.
The story itself was good but a few times I noticed similarities in previous stories in the series. When is ended I felt I was left wanting more.

A bit more of the same
Whilst enjoyable Macro's and other enlisted Roman voices became repetitive and grating
despite this Jonathan Keeble is an excellent narrator.
The story line was nothing new and Cato's character needs some work on, together with the plot. Overall, very good, though.

What a team, Scarrow and Keeble
Another excellent historical fiction novel by the great Simon Scarrow. Loved the addition of Cassius as a companion to Cato on his great adventure. Credit to Jonathan Keeble as his narration has become just as thrilling as the story itself. What a team, can’t wait for the next novel between the two.
