Simon Scarrow's "Revenge of Rome"

[Taltarzac725]

This just came out on Tuesday. Had bought it on Amazon but it was lost in transit in the US Postal Service. Probably put in the wrong box at the Lynnhaven Mail Center. My new copy arrived today by the usual Amazon delivery.

These books in the Eagles of the Empire series about the Roman soldiers Cato and Macro are fun .


This one is a take on the burning of what would eventually become London by the followers of Boudica in 61 AD.

It will be very interesting to see what happens to Cato and Macro if Mr . Scarrow is still writing when the story gets to 68 -69 AD-- the Year of Four Emperors (Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian). Basically there were civil wars that year with Roman armies battling it out for control of the Empire .

A while back I might have been expecting another of these Cato and Macro books and found a key for the box at the Lynnhaven mail center. I was all edited to see what kind of trouble these two would find and where and opened up the box and in it was a large assortment of chips in small bags with all of it in a rectangular box.

I took it home as the mail people were gone.

Knocked on the door it yelled into the building through my mail box. I don't remember which about the chips and my missing package.

Later that day a rather young woman knocked on my front door and handed me the package and said that she had picked up the wrong package for her grandmother who loved eating chips. But was not happy with a book .

They had gotten the chips at the postal center and looked up my address on Google.
