El honor de Roma

Resumen del libro

EL PELIGRO SE ENCUENTRA EN CADA ESQUINA Corre el año 59 d.
C.
Han pasado quince años desde que Roma luchara contra los bárbaros en Britania.
Ahora, es allí donde marcha a vivir el centurión Macro.
La provincia vive tiempos convulsos.
En Londinium, el ambiente es amenazador, pero además las tribus que supuestamente han aceptado el dominio romano se remueven, inquietas.
Recién llegado tras su retiro de las legiones, Macro extraña la camaradería del ejército y el drama de la batalla.
Rateros y matones controlan la ciudad.
Y, cuando Macro decide rebelarse, recibirá un brutal ataque que le sirve de castigo y advertencia.
A partir de entonces, deberá hacer uso de su coraje y habilidades para sobrevivir.
Pero esos matones no saben que al golpear a Macro han cometido un error mortal..., porque los veteranos de Britania se mantienen siempre fieles a los suyos, y Macro pronto tendrá un poderoso aliado: el prefecto Cato.
Macro y Cato, amigos y legionarios feroces que han luchado a lo largo y ancho de todo el Imperio, forman un equipo formidable.
Y lucharán hasta la muerte para proteger el honor de Roma.
