Publisher's 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....

amazing narrator
The voice he chose to use for Emperor Claudius is amazing. The book is very good, very good, but once again the incredible narration really helps to bring the story to life.

Awesome
I love history especially Roman. Not a expert but i consider i know about Roman history quite well. I find Scarrow keeps this series of books close to the actual reality of Rome. Also the story, characters, their lives being in the Roman legion make for a great story. Yes there are very many books in this series but i find i can't help but keep buying them. If you enjoy the subject matter i am sure you will enjoy these novels. Also some narrators just in my opinion just make any novel not so good. But Thorpe does a excellent job. As long as your aware of this series has many novels I would suggest giving book 1 a listen.

et tu Cato!
The narration by David Thorpe is superb!
Simon Scarrow really bring to life the trials, toils and tribulation of a Roman soldier.
This book reveals the working of a Roman Legion, a most effective and brutal weapon wielded by Rome to subdue the known world.
Loved this audible book!
