Plot Summary
It is late summer AD 44, and the battle-weary Roman legions are in their second year of campaigning against the British tribes. The troops’ commander, General Plautius, is under 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’ nerve breaks at the critical point, allowing the enemy leader, Caratacus, and his men to escape.
Outraged by this failure, General Plautius orders the decimation of the unit. Their choice: die, or escape to become fugitives pursued by soldiers of their own ruthless army. Hiding from their former comrades as well as the Britons, Cato’s small band of fugitives have only one chance to redeem themselves before they are hunted down like animals.
Audiobook Review
Best audiobook in the series yet, we are still in Briton but the challenges and situations faced by our two protagonists are very different. We still have the great strategic battles, realistic combat, political intrigue, and funny dialogues but what I really loved about the book was the character development for both Cato & Marco, unexpected and so satisfying.
The Eagle’s Prey Audiobook Mp3, as usual, is gripping and the descriptions seem as accurate as ever, but what makes these novels so interesting for me is that the characters involved seem full-fleshed and real, the situations they find themselves in seem reasonable, at least for those Roman times, and I find that I care about them as though they were real people. Mr Scarrow’s writing is, as always, sharp, clean and gripping and the narration is as fine as ever.
Another wonderful book for those interested in the Roman Legions and the trial and tribulations of Macro and Cato.
