David McK (3652 KP) rated Praetorian (Eagle, #11) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The newest entry (and book # 11) in Simon Scarrow's <i>Cato and Macro</i> series which, in a change from setting, sees the two characters back in Rome proper and getting embroiled in the politics of Rome (undercover in the Praetorian Guard) rather than in the battles with the Legions.
I found this particular novel to be a return to form after the last couple of books - while they were enjoyable, they were in danger of becoming a bit 'samey'. Further prrof that a change is as good as a rest!
