"The mighty Roman army faces Britain's defiant tribes in the series's powerful fifth book " It is late summer AD 44, and the battle-weary Roman legions are in their second year of campaigning against the British tribes. The troop'' commander, General Plautius, is under considerable pressure from the emperor to crush the natives once and for all. Centurions Macro and Cato are with the crack Second Legion under the precarious leadership of Centurion Maximus, and it's their task to hold a ford across the river Tamesis when the natives are forced into a trap. But Maximus's nerve breaks at the critical point, allowing the enemy leader and his men to escape. Outraged by this failure, General Plautius orders the decimation of Macro and Cato's unit.

Hiding from their former comrades, as well as the Britons, Cato's small band of fugitives has only one chance to redeem itself before its soldiers are hunted down, like animals.

Once again, excellent historical adventure by Simon Scarrow. Well written and well researched. Easy to read.The "Eagle" series is very similar to Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe" series. The main difference is that the "Eagle" series is set in Ancient Times while the "Sharpe" series is set in the Napoleonic Era.
