About this listen
If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!
The Eagle in the Sand is the action-packed seventh novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. Essential reading for fans of Bernard Cornwell.Judaea in AD 46. Roman centurions Cato and Macro have been posted to Judaea for a 'hearts and minds' operation. The Empire needs to win over the locals after some of their religious figures have started revolts - and since the Romans crucified the last charismatic Judaean leader, the natives' rebellions have become bolder.
Not only are these small villages causing trouble, but there are also thousands of Parthians eager to fight Rome. With the threat of suicide attacks and even all-out war, Cato and Macro have their peace-keeping work cut out....

September, 1356. Poitiers. The greatest knights of the age were ready to give battle. On the English side, Edward, the Black Prince, who'd earned his spurs at Crecy. On the French side, the king and his son, the dauphin. With 12,000 knights. And then there is William Gold. A cook's boy - the lowest of the low - who had once been branded as a thief. William dreams of being a knight, but in this savage new world of intrigue, betrayal and greed, first he must learn to survive.

fix audio volume
I enjoy listening to my audio books when doing chores, driving, etc. but I found it impossible to hear what the characters were saying anytime a scene was whispered. Either that or I had to listen to it at uncomfortable levels. Also changing the reader between books doesn't work, having Macro and Cato sound different every book is annoying.

Great overall
I was not a fan of Macro's voice in the beginning, but it slowly grew on me. Great addition to the story of our centurions. No misty isles of Briton or salty waters of pirate infested sea, but instead an arid wasteland populated by brigands and danger.
