Praetorian

The brand new, exciting Roman adventure - a top ten bestseller in hardcover - by Simon Scarrow, the author of The Legion and The Gladiator. The city of Rome in 50 AD is a dangerous place. Betrayal lurks around every corner, and a shadowy republican movement known as the 'Liberators' has extended its tentacles far and wide. There are fears that the heart of the latest conspiracy lies within the ranks of the Praetorian Guard. Unsure of whom he can trust, the imperial secretary Narcissus summons two brave men to Rome, who are to remain loyal until the grave: army veterans Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro. Tasked with infiltrating the Guard, Cato and Macro face a monumental challenge to gain the trust of their comrades. Just as they begin to uncover the details of the Liberators' devious plan, disaster strikes: an old enemy who could identify them, with deadly consequences, unexpectedly appears. Now they are in a race against time to save their own lives before they can unmask the mastermind behind the Liberators. Remember, new books make great and affordable gifts!
