About this product

Product Information

In the bitter winter of AD 44, the Roman troops in Britain are impatiently awaiting the arrival of spring so that the campaign to conquer the island can be renewed. But the native Britons are growing more cunning in their resistance, constantly snapping at the heels of the mighty Roman forces. When the most brutal of the native tribesmen, the Druids of the Dark Moon, capture the shipwrecked wife and children of General Plautius, quick action is called for. Two volunteers from the crack Second Legion must venture deep into hostile territory in a desperate attempt to rescue the prisoners. Centurion Macro and his optio, Cato, find themselves slipping out of camp in the dead of night to reach the General's family before they are sacrificed to the Druids' dark gods. They know they are heading towards an almost certain death, and their only hope is that, with sheer courage and ingenuity, they can outwit the most ruthless foes they've ever faced.

Reviews
 "This authentic evocation of the mighty Roman army is cloaked in action, suspense, and history. A darn good yarn."--- Booklist "His settings are well described and the plotting is strong, with much of the action reminiscent of Bernard Cornwell's."--- Publishers Weekly   "An account of war and religious fanaticism with plenty of spice."--- Kirkus Reviews   "The third in Scarrow's historical series...and it's probably the best."--- The Mail on Sunday (UK)

  • The epic saga continues...

    Grab your gladius and get ready for some intense battles, because Simon Scarrow is back. When the Eagle Hunts picks up shortly after the first book of the series left off, with the invasion of Brittania (ancient Britian) by the Roman Empire. Once again, Scarrow's understanding of the way the Roman legions operated is by no means lacking. He offers fascinating descriptions of real historical battles from the viewpoint of the three main characters: a young Optio (junior officer) named Cato, the Centurion Macro, and the Second Legion's commander Vespasian. Scarrow skillfully manipulates the emotions of the reader, evoking anger at the sinister Tribune Vitellus (the book's primary villan) as he seduces young Cato's girl, jealousy towards the bumbling Emperor Claudius on the part of talanted ...
