About this ebook
IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIMON SCARROW, YOU DON'T KNOW ROME!
THE BLOOD CROWS is the unputdownable twelfth novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series. A must read for fans of Bernard Cornwell. Praise for Simon Scarrow's gripping novels: 'Ferocious and compelling' Daily Express
Britannia, AD 51. For nearly a decade, the Roman Empire has fought to assert its hold over Britannia. But relentless opposition from native tribes led by the fanatical King Caratacus threatens to destroy everything.
Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro are dispatched from Rome to aid the campaign. Placed in command of an outpost in the remote western mountains, they face a challenge even more deadly than the unremitting attacks of barbarian forces. For they must wrench control of the fort from Centurion Quertus, a man who wages a savage personal war and inspires a loyalty in his men above their bond with Rome.
With dangerous enemies on both sides, Cato and Macro face the fight of their lives to bring peace to the most perilous frontier in Europe.

Another great tale with Cato and Macro the central characters. Although they are larger than life itself the historical background makes the tale immensly readable!

Every time I buy a Macro/Cato novel I am excited to reenter the triumphs with characters who have become my friends, but also worried in case I do not enjoy it. But each time I am happily unsurprised at the genious of Simon Scarrow as he once again brings to life the turmoils and victories of two Roman officers whom Fortuna looks upon with such frequency.

Love the whole series, hard to put down. Just wish they could go on forever. Also inspires me to want to write myself.
