The Blood Crows by Simon Scarrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I do enjoy the tales of Cato & Macro, so am delighted to find my two favourite Romans back for another adventure. This time around, they’ve been summoned by Governor Ostorius to Londinium and tasked with leading a newly formed cavalry cohort into the heartland of Wales. A journey which is scary enough now, never mind back then. We may be twelve books into the series, but the adventure, derring do, muck and glaur has never let up. Granted, if you’re new to this world, you’d better off starting with Under The Eagle, and working your way forward, but even as a standalone adventure, this is up there with Simon Scarrow’s best.
The story rattles along and confirms that Scarrow is one of the best boys own adventure writers of our time.
