Overview
The Eagles of the Empire saga reaches a blistering peak in this three-book collection following Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro as Roman Britannia is pushed to the brink. Death to the Emperor opens with Queen Boudica's fury rising against imperial rule. Rebellion drags the legions into brutal, mud-soaked campaigns against a relentless enemy. Revenge of Rome closes the arc as the revolt reaches its fever pitch and a stolen eagle standard threatens Rome's honor. Together, the novels deliver Scarrow's trademark blend of strategy and period detail.
About the Books
Simon Scarrow has built the Eagles of the Empire series into one of the most trusted names in historical military fiction, and this collection captures the saga's most turbulent chapter: the Boudican Revolt in Roman Britannia, AD 60-61. Death to the Emperor (21) sets the fuse as the Iceni king's death leaves a fractured kingdom vulnerable, and Queen Boudica's warrior spirit ignites unrest Cato and Macro can no longer contain. Rebellion (22) escalates the conflict into open warfare, forcing the officers through punishing marches and brutal skirmishes as tribal forces grow bolder. Revenge of Rome (23) brings the trilogy to its climax in AD 61, with Britannia divided and a lost eagle standard standing in for Rome's bruised honor. Across all three books, Scarrow threads historical research through fast-moving battle sequences, giving readers an authentic sense of Roman military life alongside the human cost of empire. Cato and Macro's partnership, tested by siege, ambush, and command decisions with life-or-death stakes, remains the emotional core of the set. Fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane, and Conn Iggulden will recognize the same commitment to authenticity and pacing. This set suits readers working through the series in sequence, or newcomers wanting a complete, self-contained arc.
