About this listen

Invictus is a gripping, authentic and exciting audiobook of the Roman army from best-selling author Simon Scarrow. Not to be missed by fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell.

It is AD 54. The soldiers of the Roman army patrol a growing empire from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, from the Atlantic to the banks of the Nile. Rome brutally enforces its rule, and its legions are the most efficient and aggressive fighting force in the world. Two battle-scarred veterans of this army, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro, have survived years of campaigning in Britannia and have been recalled to Rome.

Their time in the teeming, dangerously political city is short, and soon they are travelling with the Praetorian Guard to Spain, a restless colony where simmering tension in the face of Roman rule is aggravated by bitter rivalry amongst the natives. The challenges that face two old friends and their comrades in arms are unlike any they have seen before - in a land that declares itself unconquerable.

Critic Reviews

"I really don't need this kind of competition." (Bernard Cornwell)

Formulaic after all this time but the historical accuracy and well written character development of the battle hardened duo keeps one's interest.

Scarrow is a master of boy's own stories and the period.

Always a rollicking yarn

Another strong book continuing the trials and triumphs of the dynamic duo. It's a great series but all good things must come to an end. The next book is the last I know about. If it is the end I hope it's a good and fitting end but I also hope it's not the end just the latest book in the series ...time for me to find out.

It's almost over yet still going strong
