In the fifth book of the 'Quinto Licinio Cato' series, titled 'The Eagle Leaves Britannia,' Simon Scarrow immerses us in an exciting historical adventure. In this installment, the third cohort faces a definitive attack against the hordes of Carataco, playing a crucial role in attempting to cut off their retreat. However, the failure in this mission triggers a series of critical events, including internal struggles and a precarious situation for centurions Macro and Cato. The novel offers amusing scenes, battle recreations, and a depiction of life in a Roman camp surrounded by British barbarians. Scarrow addresses the Roman presence in Britannia, an aspect little explored in the historical novel, enriching the plot with historical details and adventures.
Simon Scarrow is a British writer. Scarrow completed a master's degree at the University of East Anglia after working at the Inland Revenue, and then went into teaching as a lecturer, firstly at East Norfolk Sixth Form College, then at City College Norwich.
