Overview
The Eagles of the Empire 10 Books Collection Set gathers Simon Scarrow's foundational Roman military novels featuring Quintus Licinius Cato and Lucius Cornelius Macro. Beginning in AD 42 with a raw recruit joining the Second Legion, the saga sweeps through Britannia, the Mediterranean, Judaea, Egypt, and beyond as Rome's frontiers expand. Scarrow blends meticulous historical research with fast-paced, visceral battle scenes and a genuinely moving friendship at the story's core. This paperback box set offers ten consecutive entries in the series, letting readers follow Cato and Macro's evolution from uncertain soldiers to seasoned commanders across a single, satisfying, binge-worthy collection.

About the Books
This collection brings together ten novels from Simon Scarrow's celebrated Eagles of the Empire series, one of the most popular ongoing sagas in modern historical military fiction. The books follow centurion Macro and his second-in-command Cato as they serve the Roman army during the first century AD, campaigning through Britain's hostile tribal lands, crossing the Mediterranean, and marching through the deserts of Egypt and Judaea. Scarrow, a former history teacher, grounds every skirmish, siege, and political maneuver in careful period research, giving the fighting an authentic, unglamorized weight. What sets the series apart is the relationship between its two leads: Macro, the battle-hardened veteran with a gruff exterior and fierce loyalty, and Cato, the bookish young officer who grows into a shrewd and capable leader in his own right. As the ten books progress, readers watch that partnership deepen while the wider Roman Empire itself becomes a character—expanding, scheming, and demanding sacrifice from the men who serve it. Battles are staged with cinematic clarity, camp life and command politics are rendered with dry wit, and each installment closes with enough forward momentum to make the next book essential reading. Whether encountered for the first time or revisited as old favorites, these ten novels reward readers who want their historical fiction fast-moving, richly detailed, and emotionally grounded in a believable ancient world.
