What is to follow as a whole is a fantastic and action-packed Roman adventure, in which Boudica's revolt with the annihilation of Camulodunum as just the beginning of a much greater rebellion that will probably continue in the next volume towards its inevitable end and the destruction of the druid stronghold Mona will be the main focuses, but during these bloody actions in Camulodunum Macro will lose some very dear family members, from the likes of the mute boy Parvus and the dog Cassius towards fellow soldiers and in particular the spy/assassin Apollonius, and all this due to an act of madness by the Roman procurator, Decianus. The books cover the experiences of the two soldiers, initially as experienced centurion and new optio, in battles in Germania and the invasion of Britain by Claudius as part of the Legio II Augusta. This book is set during the years AD 60/61, with Cato at one end and Macro at the other end of Britannia.On the other hand, Cato is just a teenager, who previously grew up as a slave in the Imperial Palace. Scarrow cites the inspiration for his 'earthy' characters as being from his time in the Officer Training Corps.
