Un roman istoric palpitant despre trecutul sângeros al Imperiului Roman

   Bine aţi revenit în lumea sângeroasă a centurionilor! Macro şi Cato se duc la Roma. Pe drum are loc un cutremur devastator, în apropiere de coasta sudica a Insulei Creta. Cei doi eroi se trezesc în Matala, unde sclavii pornesc o răzmeriţă împotriva unei puternice legiuni romane. Macro şi Cato trebuie să pună capăt revoltei care ameninţă să cuprindă Imperiul şi să-l învingă pe Aiax, gladiatorul neînfricat, însetat de răzbunare.

„Având drept sursă de inspiraţie oameni care au existat cu adevarat, acest roman grandios e plin de viaţă şi de mari batalii. Suspansul îţi face genunchii să tremure de emoţie şi n-o să-l poţi lăsa din mână!“

,,They barely make it to the port of Matala in Crete where they are stunned to find a devastated town. An earthquake has struck the island, destroying its cities and killing thousands. In the chaotic aftermath, large bands of the island’s slaves begin to revolt and local bandits, taking advantage of the slave rebellion, urge the Cretans to overthrow the Roman administration. 

With many of the island’s troops either killed or wounded during the earthquake, the governor of the province calls on Macro and Cato for help. Can they move swiftly enough to counter the rebellion before it sweeps the Romans from the island?”
