JUSTICE , HONOUR, REVENGE

AD 14: Five long years have passed since the annihilation of three legions in the wilds of Germania.

Demoted, battle-scarred and hell-bent on revenge, Centurion Tullus and his legionaries begin their fightback. Ranged against them is the charismatic chieftan Arminius, determined to crush the Romans for a second time.

Convinced that the eagle belonging to his old legion is close at hand, Tullus drives ever deeper into enemy lands.

But with Arminius and his warriors closing in on the Romans, a murderous battle is about to begin...

About this title

Review:

"The portrayal of the characters was sublime. Totally believable. The battle scenes were vivid and were very real in the telling. It was like being there, without the threat of being brutally maimed or killed, of course!...Eagles at War is now definitely on my 'to be read' list." (Myths, Legends, Books & Coffee Pots)

"Kept me riveted to the page for every word. You will honestly struggle to find any more real characters in any Roman book. I highly recommend this and all Ben Kane’s books, if you have not read his work... why?? please go do so." (Parmenion Books)

"A triumph" (Sunday Express)

"Excellent...another compelling, dark tale" (The Times)

"Hunting the Eagles is a fantastic novel, a triumph of Roman historical fiction, as thrilling as you could ask for, while still showing how complicated the situation was, how frenzied, on the borders of the empire. The setting is so well done. Ben Kane’s thorough research into the period, warfare and the location really pays off. Hunting the Eagles is not only a terrific follow up to Eagles of War, one of the best books of 2015 in my opinion, but also superb in its own right." (For Winter Nights)

"This brutal and bloody book should be at the top of your must-read list" (CultureFly ‘6 Must Read Books for Autumn’)

"Kane puts you right in fighting slog...it’s blood and bravery all the way" (Northern Echo)

"A thundering second book in the series from a master storyteller" (Peterborough Evening Telegraph)
