Day of the Caesars (Eagle, #16)

"Day of the Caesars" is the 16th book in the "Eagles of the Empire" series by Simon Scarrow, a Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author. The book is set in AD 54, after the death of Emperor Claudius, and follows the power struggle between Nero and his half-brother Britannicus. The story revolves around two Roman army heroes, Cato and Macro, who are caught up in the political turmoil and must navigate the vast grip of corruption that rules Rome. The book is more of an intrigue and thriller than the action and battles that have come to define the series. Scarrow effectively uses the son-mother trope, and in this situation, Nero’s reliance on his mother is quite frankly wasted. The book can be read as a standalone novel, as Simon has written it in a way that you do not get to know the whole backstory of the fifteen previous entries.
