La pareja de centuriones formada por Macro y Cato se encuentra en Roma a la espera de ver cómo se resuelve el conflicto en que se han visto metidos como resultado del asesinato del general Plautio, cuando inesperadamente cae en sus manos una misión de la que depende el futuro del Imperio romano. Se trata de recuperar unos papiros de incalculable valor que se hallan en manos de piratas, lo que les obliga a embarcarse y enfrentarse a las terribles hordas de piratas que pugnaban por aquella época con las tropas romanas por el control del Mediterráneo. Great stuff. Scarrow's "Eagles" series is difficult to put down. I find I read one and then must immediately read the next. Here our two rough heroes find themselves all at sea chasing pirates, while their real mission is to recover an item of profound imperial importance. There is also a dash of soap opera with Macro's discovery of his mother and his own background. Good fun. Recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

It is spring 45 AD and Centurions Macro and Cato, dismissed from the Second Legion in Britain, are trapped in Rome, waiting for their involvement in the death of a fellow officer to be investigated. It is then that the imperial secretary, the devious Narcissus, makes them an offer they can't refuse; to rescue an imperial agent who has been captured by pirates operating from the Illyrian coast. With him were scrolls vital to the safety of the Emperor and the future of Rome. However, Narcissus also sends Vitellius, an old enemy of the two centurions. The three officers set out from Ravenna with the imperial fleet but the pirates are forewarned and the Romans pay a heavy price. Outnumbered by the enemy, surrounded by rumours of treachery and endangered by Vitellius' desire to redeem himself, Centurions Macro and Cato must find the pirate base to avert a disaster that could destroy the Emperor.
