Rome's finest soldiers face a restless colony

Very good condition – clean dust jacket, minor edge wear

AD 54. The soldiers of the Roman army patrol a growing empire, enforcing its rule with brutal efficiency from the Mediterranean to the North Sea. Battle-scarred veterans Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro have survived years of hard campaigning in Britannia and are recalled to Rome, but their time in the dangerously political capital is short. Soon they're travelling with the Praetorian Guard to Hispania, a restless colony where simmering tension under Roman rule is aggravated by bitter rivalry among the natives, all centred on the empire's valuable silver mines. The fifteenth novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series, Invictus sends two old friends into a new corner of the empire, where politics prove every bit as dangerous as the battlefield.
