Description
The Eagle and the Wolves by Simon Scarrow In AD 44, the Roman army faces a daunting challenge. Enemy supply convoys are being butchered, garrisons are starving, and the truce with local tribes is tenuous at best. To address this, two cohorts of barbarian Britons, the Wolves and the Boars, are being trained in the brutal drills of the Roman Imperial Army. Young centurion Cato and veteran Macro are tasked with this mission, with Macro confident they'll win the natives over and Cato worried about arming potential rebels. As tensions rise, Cato and Macro must navigate the complexities of loyalty and allegiance. Can the enemy at their gates be distinguished from the allies in their own camp? The outcome is far from certain, and the fate of the Roman army hangs in the balance. This gripping novel is the fourth installment in Simon Scarrow's Eagles of the Empire series, suited to readers of historical fiction and military adventure.
