The Legion: Eagles of the Empire, Book 10

I have only recently discovered Cato and Macro, after a friend advised me to read "Under the Eagle" (Book 1)Since then I have found Scarrow's book very addictive and have now read all 10 books in the last 8 weeks! So glad I am retired!!His characters are superb, the stories are life like, with plenty of twists and turns.So far I think that The Legion is the best book of the series and we find the two friends struggling to deal with their new found promotions as well as keep their friendship secure.I am now waiting for the next instalment, which I find very frustrating as I am eager to find out what is going to happen to them.For newcomers, start at the very beginning of the series and follow how the two men's characters grow.Superb books, highly recommended

Really enjoying the series

If you are a fan of this genre and the author you will love it. This novel is a way back in the series but I had not read it before

Following the exploits Macro & Cato

With some little plot twists (some that as hardened readers you will see coming, but are good all the same) the book starts with Macro landing at an Egyptian outpost and slaughtering the Roman garrison. Sorry, spoiler, but you 'know' what is going on here surely if you have followed Cato and Macro's chase of the rogue gladiator Ajax?From then on the story is pretty good and back on form - the relief for me is that the Julia character, beloved of Cato, is reduced to mentions. She just slayed the tension and the story in the previous installments - it's like Superman getting together with Lois Lane or finding out who Batman is: Cato and Macro don't need a love interest.The strange thing is Scarrow can write in some strong women characters but just failed with the attempt to write in a love interest and seems to have grasped that now.Back to form and a good page turner.

Not as good as the the others but still a good readGot to keep the lads on their toes

This book and the whole series of books about Macro and Cato are both an exellent and exciting voyage into the lives of the Roman army as each book finishes you want to start the next one to find out how their adventures procedes. They are well written with a fine attention to detail that will keep you enthralled, would fully recomend them not only for men but also for women as my wife also likes them and has read the whole series and cannot wait for the next book in the series to be published. I purchased this and the series from Amazon.co.uk by receiving books and e- books.

It’s been a long time since I have read a story which has gripped me from start to finish.I love the descriptions and tactics of the Roman Cohorts including the description of the weapons and tools.The immersive reality with which I am transported into the legions along side Cato & Macro is spellbinding, I can not wait to start the next book.Thanks for a great story.Regards Rory

Book was in great condition, better than advertised. Thanks.

good book

All good, arrived on time, and no great surprises in the covers

Para practicar inglés es una opción muy amena y divertida, además la serie es muy entretenida y no escatima en detalles en los combates.

Auch dieser Roman von Simon Scarrow liegt ganz auf der Linie der vorherigen Episoden mit Macro und Cato, spannend geschrieben und wie immer mit ein paar "grausamen" Details. Und als Zugabe diesmal eine von vielen Krimis her bekannte Verräter-Story.
