The action-packed new novel featuring Roman army officers Macro and
Cato from Sunday Times bestselling author Simon Scarrow While
centurions Macro and Cato are returning to Rome from a harrowing
campaign against the Parthians, their transport ship is almost
capsized by a tidal wave. They barely make it to the port of Matala
in Crete where they are stunned to find a devastated town. An
earthquake has struck the island, destroying its cities and killing
thousands. In the chaotic aftermath, large bands of the island's
slaves begin to revolt and local bandits, taking advantage of the
slave rebellion, urge the Cretans to overthrow the Roman
administration. With many of the island's troops either killed or
wounded during the earthquake, the governor of the province calls
on Macro and Cato for help. Can they move swiftly enough to counter
the rebellion before it sweeps the Romans from the island?
