IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIMON SCARROW, YOU DON'T KNOW ROME! The Sunday Times bestseller. INVICTUS is a gripping, authentic and exciting novel of the Roman army from bestselling author Simon Scarrow. Not to be missed by readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell. It is AD 54. The soldiers of the Roman army patrol a growing Empire, from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, from the Atlantic to the banks of the Nile. Rome brutally enforces its rule, and its legions are the most efficient and aggressive fighting force in the world. Two battle-scarred veterans of this army, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro, have survived years of campaigning in Britannia and have been recalled to Rome. Their time in the teeming, dangerously political city is short, and soon they are travelling with the Praetorian Guard to Spain, a restless colony where simmering tension in the face of Roman rule is aggravated by bitter rivalry amongst the natives. The challenges that face two old friends and their comrades in arms are unlike any they have seen before - in a land that declares itself unconquerable...

Cato a Macro bojují v obsazené, ale neporažené HispániiV neklidné provincii čeká prefekta Catona a centuriona Macrona nezvykle těžký úkol. Jsou zkušení válečníci a nechybí jim odvaha, ale to tentokrát nestačí. Bude jim přát Štěstena, aby uspěli?Je rok 54 našeho letopočtu a Římu vládne císař Claudius. Mocná říše se rozrůstá a podmaňuje si stále nová území – také díky svým skvěle vyzbrojeným a vycvičeným legiím. K vynikajícím legionářům patří i dva přátelé, prefekt Cato a centurion Macro.Po těžkých bojích v Británii se vracejí zpět do metropole, aby z rukou císaře převzali vyznamenání za svoje zásluhy. Cato se těší na setkání s malým synem, kterého od narození ještě neviděl, a chce mít konečně čas truchlit pro svou mrtvou ženu Julii.Vzápětí jsou ovšem oba odveleni do horké a vyprahlé Hispánie, která se ani po dvou stech letech nechce podrobit dobyvatelům a kde právě vypuklo povstání. Cílem Catonovy kohorty je stříbrný důl Argentium, který má nejen pro císařství, ale i pro jejich další život zásadní význam. A navíc se z něj záhadně ztratil vytěžený drahý kov.SIMON SCARROW je britský autor historických románů.
