Death to the Emperor

Eagles of the Empire 21

De: Simon Scarrow

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

1st-century Britannia is the setting for an epic and action-packed novel of tribal uprisings, battles to the death and unmatched courage in the Roman army ranks. From Simon Scarrow, author of the best sellers The Emperor's Exile, Centurion and The Gladiator.

The 21st Eagle of the Empire novel. If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!

It is AD 60. The hard-won province of Britannia is a thorn in the side of the Roman Empire, its tribes swift to anger and relentless in their bloody harassment of the Roman military. Far from being a peaceful northern enclave, Britannia is a seething mass of bitter rebels and unlikely alliances against the common enemy. Corruption amongst greedy officials diverts resources from the locals who need them. For the military, it's a never-ending fight to maintain a fragile peace.

Now it's time to quell the most dangerous enemy tribes. Two of Rome's finest commanders—Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro—are charged with a mission as deadly as any they have faced in their long careers. Can they win the day, or could this be the last battle?

A stunning and unforgettable story of warfare, courage and sacrifice as brave men face an enemy with nothing to lose....

The Adventure Continues

Once again, Scarrow nails it. Macro and Cato take us for a ride. Fantastic!

neeed mooore

what an epic tale I've been waiting for this part in the story to see where Simon takes us and Keeble really puts the emotions in the words

Enjoyable, but a little inconsequential

Another well narrated novel by Simon Scarrow. It did feel a bit inconsequential in comparison to some of the others in the series, but I think it’s fair to conclude that it’s largely setting up the next book that will cover the famous victory of the Romans against Boudica. I guess that may be the last in the series!

Excellent

Great story great narration. Love the series tremendously! Can’t wait for the next book! Simon Scarrow had single Handedly filled my passion for Rome and Roman history!

Best cliffhanger yet!

I can’t wait for Cato’s search and fight to come! I was wondering how the Boudica story would unfold. Not disappointed at all!

Kind of leaves you hanging, it’s like it’s a part one.

Very excited to get my hand on the next installment of my favorite two Romans, I could see about a quarter weigh in where the book was going, and was wondering why it was taking so long, it’s back loaded and ends abruptly. Still a good story, still moves our boys along in life, but it’s a cliffhanger.

Huge missed opportunity with the spy tutor and Catos kid.

Would have been a great sub plot.
Too short a book for the money. Words word

Another amazing story

As with all of the eagle series books, death to the emperor hits spot on action, drama, mystery, and amazing storytelling. I would recommend this book and series to anyone interested in Roman British historical fiction.

Now the rest the story please

talk about a cliff hanger
where is the rest of the book great so far

Love this series

I’ve been mixing it up between reading and listening to this series since the beginning. It’s a journey I’ve enjoyed every step of the way.
