Vyhnanství – Scarrow Simon (2021)

It is the year 57 AD. Seasoned veterans of the Roman army, Tribune Cato and Centurion Macro, are returning to Rome. Due to the failure of a recent campaign on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire, Cato is expecting a cold reception at the imperial court. He is stripped of his rank in the Praetorian Guard and also loses his loved ones, as Macro and Petronella set out for a new life in the province of Britannia. Emperor Nero finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. He has fallen in love with the former slave Claudia Acte, but his political opponents are trying to exploit his weakness. Therefore, at the urging of his advisors, he sends his mistress into exile in Sardinia. Cato, who finds himself in Rome as an unwanted person after being dismissed from the Praetorian Guard, is tasked with accompanying the woman to Sardinia. Cato receives another assignment. As the commanding officer of the Roman garrison on the island, he must deal with the rampaging bandits. Contrary to expectations, he must face an even more dangerous, invisible, and deadly enemy – the plague. Will he manage to quell the unrest on the island before the disease decimates his soldiers? Exile is the nineteenth volume of the author's novel series Eagles of Empire.
