Publisher's Summary
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....

Story
The Romans invaded Britannia in AD 43 confident of victory. They swept through a divided and ill-equipped enemy, scattered across tough terrain. But one man was not prepared to surrender. Caratacus - quick-witted youngest son of a a tribal king - had been trained from birth to be a warrior of power and grit. Sent to be schooled by the Druids in his boyhood, his training meant that an already strong and cunning prince returned to his father's kingdom as a war machine.

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.
