Summary

If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!

The Eagle's Conquest is the thrilling second novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. Essential reading for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

Britannia, AD 43. Bleak, rainy and full of vicious savages, Britannia is a land that Cato, solider of the Second Legion, wishes Rome didn't want to conquer. And as right-hand man to Centurion Macro, Cato sees the very worst of his native Britons, battling alongside his commander in bloodier combat than he could ever have imagined. But the Britons are fighting back with Roman weapons - which means someone in their own ranks is supplying arms to the enemy. Cato and Macro are about to discover even deadlier adversaries than the British barbarians....

A compelling read in the series

I very much enjoy the third book in the series. The narrator is excellent being able to reproduce the tonal quality of the strong characters.

Pronunciation

The pronunciation of Cato will drive you mad if you allow it to, most annoying...

Gripping

Both story and deliver are fantastic, the characters are deep and believable and the narration is delivered with true feelings that really helps to paint the mental picture and put you in the shield wall with them.

I have already started book 3 as I type this review.
