SUMMARY:An Evening With Simon Scarrow
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to have Simon Scarrow join us for a talk about his latest Macro & Cato novel. After three books which dealt with the Boudican revolt and it’s aftermath\, this one sees Cato as Prefect of Rome’s Urban Cohorts. It’s AD63 and Emperor Nero’s brutal and reckless rule is causing chaos and disorder in the capital. Cato needs his right-hand man Macro to help him restore order and navigate the treacherous waters of Roman politics. They are just as dangerous as any foe the pair have faced in battle.  \nTickets must be purchased online and the doors will open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start.
