From the jacket blurb:
"At the end of a harrowing campaign, Centurions Macro and Cato are sailing for Rome. Their journey is dramatically interrupted off the southern coast of Crete when an earthquake strikes. The transport ship is severely damaged and they are forced to limp to shore.
Matala has been devastated, and the whole province is in chaos: worse, the slave population has taken the opportunity to revolt. Against a strong legion, the ill equipped renegades would have little chance, but the garrison troops are of poor quality, with no recent experience of active service. As Roman men and weaponry are lost to the enemy, the balance of power is in danger of switching.
It falls to Macro and Cato to quash a rebellion that could ignite an uprising across the Empire. Against them stands a powerful leader: Ajax,. A gladiator who has fearlessly faced death daily, Ajax is driven by a desire for vengeance both political and personal. It may be that the centurions face a force too great for Rome to overcome . . ."
