ABOUT THE BOOK

Under the Eagle is the gripping first novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles
of the Empire series. A must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.
AD 42, Germany. Tough, brutal and unforgiving. That's how new recruit Cato is
finding life in the Roman Second Legion. He may have contacts in high places, but
he could really use a friend amongst his fellow soldiers right now. Cato has been
promoted above his comrades at the order of the Emperor and is deeply resented by
the other men. But he quickly earns the respect of his Centurion, Macro, a battle-
hardened veteran as rough and ready as Cato is quick-witted and well-educated. They
are poles apart, but soon realise they have a lot to learn from one another.
On a campaign to Britannia - a land of utter barbarity - an enduring friendship
begins. But as they undertake a special mission to thwart a conspiracy against the
Emperor they rapidly find themselves in a desperate fight to survive....
