About the Books
Simon Scarrow's Eagles of the Empire series opens with UNDER THE EAGLE in AD 42, following recruit Quintus Licinius Cato as he joins the Second Legion in Germany and forges an unlikely partnership with battle-hardened Centurion Macro. Across these ten novels, the pair are swept from the German frontier into the invasion of Britannia, where Camulodunum falls and campaigning pushes into the southwest against fierce tribal resistance. As the series progresses through THE EAGLE'S PREY and THE EAGLE'S PROPHECY, prolonged campaigning tests discipline and loyalty, while orders from above clash with personal conscience. The saga then shifts entirely in THE EAGLE IN THE SAND, moving Cato and Macro to Judaea, where cultural tension and new enemies complicate imperial ambitions. CENTURION, THE GLADIATOR, and THE LEGION carry the story further, deepening the political stakes and testing both soldiers in unfamiliar terrain. Throughout, Scarrow grounds the action in careful historical research, rendering Roman military life and hierarchy with authenticity while keeping the prose fast-paced. The evolving friendship between disciplined Cato and instinctive Macro anchors every book, giving readers a consistent emotional core amid shifting battlefields. Collected in this paperback box set, the ten novels offer a complete, ordered introduction to one of historical fiction's most enduring military partnerships, ideal for new readers and longtime fans alike.
