Macro, the grizzled veteran and Cato the idealistic youngster make a good counterpoint to each other and let the author explain things by way of explanations to Cato.

Aided by some Iceni allies, they have to try and rescue a General's family from Druids. Ranging from scenes of the might of Rome in its ordered ranks to small, bloody skirmishes, this book has a good range of characters.
