Impero senza confini

This eventful Roman adventure is already the 19th instalment of the wonderful "Eagles of the Empire" series, from the formidable author, Simon Scarrow. At the beginning of the book you'll find a well-drawn map of Sardinia in the 1st Century AD, as well as a Cast List with real great historical and wo Leggi tutto

Another excellent book by Simon Scarrow in the consistently good Cato and Macro series. Fans of the series will know that Roman soldiers Cato and Macro have been together since the start, only now Macro has retired.

Is it the sudden disappearance of a minor character, together with his plotline? Or is it the near complete absence of a central

My first venture into Simon Scarrow, but I feel it will be worth reading some more. It is always difficult getting into characters who have clearly been developing over a long series of books. Well worth a read.

Wieder mal ein Sieben-Sterne-Buch aus dieser Reihe! Sehr abenteuerlich, aber auch wie nachhause kommen! :):):)

Back to his best Having read all the books in this collection and not having enjoyed.the last two.to.the extent of his previous work i was happy to see that this book has returned to its best. Can't wait for the next book. It's going to be a long 12 months.
