"Roman Britain, AD 52. November. The western tribes, fired up by the Druids', prepare to make a stand. But can they match the discipline and courage of the legionaries? Centurion Macro remains behind in charge of the fort as Prefect Cato leads an invasion deep into the hills. Cato's mission: to cement Rome's triumph over the enemy by crushing the Druid stronghold. But the terrain is barely passable through icy rain and snowstorms. When Macro's patrols report that the natives in the vicinity of the garrison are thinning out, a terrible suspicion occurs to the battle-scarred soldier. Has the acting Governor, Legate Quintatus, underestimated the enemy, his military judgement blurred by ambition? If there is a deadly plan afoot, it's Cato and his men who will pay the price."--Back cover. Gary C. Hoppenstand Adventure Fiction Collection. 20230727.
