Overview
Follow the legions of Rome into the heart of empire with this nine-book Eagles of the Empire collection from Simon Scarrow. Centered on Centurion Macro and the ever-resourceful Cato, these paperback adventures move from the German frontier and the invasion of Britannia to the deserts of Judaea and the arenas of Rome. Scarrow blends meticulous military detail with fast-moving, character-driven storytelling, giving readers a grounded sense of what it meant to serve, command, and survive in the Roman army. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden, this set delivers nine complete campaigns of loyalty, danger, and hard-won glory.

About the Books
Simon Scarrow's Eagles of the Empire follows two soldiers of the Roman army, Centurion Lucius Cornelius Macro and the younger, quick-witted Quintus Licinius Cato, as they rise through the ranks during the reign of Emperor Claudius. The saga opens with Under the Eagle, thrusting raw recruit Cato into the discipline and brutality of the Second Legion in Germany, before The Eagle's Conquest and When the Eagle Hunts carry the pair into the chaos of the invasion of Britannia. The Eagle and the Wolves deepens the tension as shifting tribal loyalties threaten the fragile Roman hold on the province. Later installments broaden the canvas: The Eagle in the Sand sends Cato and Macro to Judaea on a fraught peacekeeping mission, while Centurion pits them against the looming threat of Parthia. The Gladiator forces Cato into the brutal arenas of Rome's provinces, The Legion follows the pair to Egypt amid political intrigue, and Praetorian brings the action back to a Rome gripped by conspiracy. Across all nine paperbacks, Scarrow's research into Roman military life, tactics, and daily hardship gives the fiction real texture, while the evolving friendship between the blunt, battle-hardened Macro and the more bookish Cato provides the emotional spine of the series. Readers looking for immersive historical fiction with the pace of a thriller will find a consistent, well-crafted reading experience across the set, whether picked up in order or dipped into for a favorite campaign.
