About this listen

 THE LEGION is the action-packed tenth novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell.

When the actions of a rebel gladiator in Egypt threaten the stability of the Roman Empire, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro know he must be stopped. The locals are holding the Romans responsible for the attacks and Ajax's crew have been making along the coast and now Egypt is dangerously volatile.

Tasked with tracking and defeating the renegade, Cato and Macro are soon hot on Ajax's trail, determined to destroy the enemy. But will the strength of a psychotically fatalist gladiator and his new-found allies, hell-bent on destruction, defeat the Roman warriors?©2010 Simon Scarrow Ancient Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Military Thriller & Suspense War & Military Rome

Praise for Simon Scarrow: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' (Bernard Cornwell)
Gripping... ferocious and compelling, it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice
A new book in Simon Scarrow's series about the Roman army is always a joy
Rollicking good fun
A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff
Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best
[Simon Scarrow] blends together historical facts and characters to create a book that simply cannot be put down... Highly recommended

I love the friendship between Cato and Marco. But I also love the plot twists and the quality of the enemies that help propel the story forward. Let's not forget the tragedies the innocent characters.

Another great story and another great performance by the narrator. The dynamic duo have an epic chase to capture Ajax, so near so many times then slips from their grasp. It makes for an exciting tale.

Bravo duo

Oof the bit when Macro smashed his sword on that guys head from the top through to his jaw was brutal.

Brutal

Unfortunately this gets boring very quickly, Cato and Macro on the tale of Ajax but he manages to escape and this continues for the rest of the book. It was a struggle to get through and I’m not sure I’ll continue on with series.

My least favourite in the series
