Summary
The Eagle's Prey is the thrilling fifth novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. A must-listen for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.
It is late summer AD 44, and the battle-weary Roman legions are in their second year of campaigning against the British tribes. The troops' commander, General Plautius, is under pressure from the emperor to crush the natives once and for all.
Centurions Macro and Cato are with the crack Second Legion under the precarious leadership of Centurion Maximus, and it's their task to hold a ford across the river Tamesis when the natives are forced into a trap. But Maximus' nerve breaks at the critical point, allowing the enemy leader, Caratacus, and his men to escape.
Outraged by this failure, General Plautius orders the decimation of the unit. Their choice: die, or escape to become fugitives pursued by soldiers of their own ruthless army. Hiding from their former comrades as well as the Britons, Cato's small band of fugitives have only one chance to redeem themselves before they are hunted down like animals.

I hadn’t realised
I hadn’t realised that it was possible for this series to get any better? It just did. I loved this continuing chronicle of Cato and Macro. Top marks ... and so on to the next one!

fast paced story
I really enjoyed this book, love the narrator, well worth a listen. Kato has become a more bitter character this time around, his infuriating petulance of the earlier books makes way for cunning and leadership instead. well worth a listen.

Wonderful
Absolutely brilliant, Cato & Macro have done it again.
Learning about Caratucus was fascinating, I'm only surprised that here in Britain he isn't more immortalised with statues etc.

I couldn’t stop listening
Another thrilling adventure for Macro and Cato. I couldn’t stop worrying about them when I was not actually listening. I had to get back to get them out of trouble. (As they always do.) I’m totally addicted to these two.

Always a good series
This fills the gap that there has been in the series. Glad to have had it finally.
I have now listened to the whole series.
Hoping for another soon.
