Eagles at War
(Eagles of Rome Book 1)
By Ben Kane
Their leader is the charismatic chieftain and trusted ally of Rome, Arminius, whose dream is to drive out the brutal invaders of his land.
Pitted against him are veteran centurion Lucius Tullus and the Roman provincial governor, Varus.
Together with three local legions, they leave their summer camp to begin the march back to the Roman forts on the Rhine.
They have no idea that in the forests and bog of the Teutoburg, mud, slaughter and bloody death await.
Review:
I had this book on my to-read list for ages, but I have finally found the time to read it. I have always been interested in Roman History and as Ben Kane is a best-selling author, I assumed I was in good hands. I am sure you will be pleased to know that I assumed right. Kane has a way of making history jump from the page, and his characterisation was as amazing as the plot.
This novel kept me turning the pages long into the night. I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2.
