Publisher's Summary

If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!

Praetorian is the gripping eleventh novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. Essential reading for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

AD 51. Legionaries Cato and Macro have forged a bond that has survived war, rebellion and torture. Yet nothing has prepared them for a daunting mission on the deadliest battlefield of all: the bloody streets of Rome.

Traitors are threatening to plunge the Empire into bloody chaos and no one can be trusted. The Emperor has ordered Cato and Macro to go on a deadly mission, working undercover to root out the traitors before Rome tears itself apart.

As the true scale of the corruption dawns, they realise they are facing terrifying odds. Two men against many, in a desperate race to save not only the Empire, but each other....

the narrator is just ok

Garth Armstrong voice for Macro, makes Macro sound like an accountant . He butchers the sound of Macro and Cato . Once you already have listen to Cato and Macro voices , by voice actor Jonathan Keeble . Its difficult to listen to this narration. But if this is the first time listening to Simon Scarrow , the story is really good. Fantastic , Well worth it.
