IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIMON SCARROW, YOU DON'T KNOW ROME!The Sunday Times bestseller.
INVICTUS is a gripping, authentic and exciting novel of the Roman army
from bestselling author Simon Scarrow. Not to be missed by readers of
Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell.It is AD 54. The
soldiers of the Roman army patrol a growing Empire, from the
Mediterranean to the North Sea, from the Atlantic to the banks of the
Nile. Rome brutally enforces its rule, and its legions are the most
efficient and aggressive fighting force in the world. Two battle-scarred
veterans of this army, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro, have survived
years of campaigning in Britannia and have been recalled to Rome. Their
time in the teeming, dangerously political city is short, and soon they
are travelling with the Praetorian Guard to Spain, a restless colony
where simmering tension in the face of Roman rule is aggravated by
bitter rivalry amongst the natives. The challenges that face two old
friends and their comrades in arms are unlike any they have seen before -
in a land that declares itself unconquerable...
