Publisher's Synopsis
The city of Rome in AD 50 is a dangerous place. Treachery lurks on every corner, and a shadowy Republican movement, "the Liberators", has spread its tentacles wide. It is feared that the heart of the latest plot lies in the ranks of the Praetorian Guard. Uncertain of whom he can trust, the Imperial Secretary Narcissus summons to Rome two men guaranteed to be loyal: army veterans Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro. No sooner have they begun to unearth the details of the Liberators' devious plan than disaster strikes: an old enemy who could identify them makes an unexpected appearance. Now they face a race against time to save their own lives before they can unmask the mastermind behind the Liberators...
