Simon Scarrow’s passion for writing began at an early age. After a childhood spent travelling the world, he pursued his great love of history as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. He is now an award-winning and Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author of over forty novels.
His Roman soldier heroes Cato and Macro made their debut in 2000 in Under the Eagle, and have subsequently appeared in many bestsellers in the Eagles of the Empire series, including Centurion, The Gladiator and The Blood of Rome. Simon’s latest book, Blackout is a Nazi era thriller.
Simon is also the author of the novels Young Bloods, The General, Fire and Sword, and The Fields of Death, chronicling the lives of the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte.
The year is 85 CE and Emperor Domitian is celebrating the achievements of Governor Agricola’s victorious campaign in Britannia with ten days of games in the Great Amphitheater.
Follow Marcus Venutius into the arena’s seedy underworld of betting, bribes, blood and betrayal. From the marble seats of the wealthy to the hot sands and hidden hypogeum of the gladiators, Marcus must determine friend from foe before he ends up more than a spectator of Domitian’s great games.
Step back in time to experience the Colosseum as it was 2000 years ago. Includes digital reconstructions.
