5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, Feb 13 2006

Ce commentaire est de: Under the Eagle (Paperback)

As an avid historical fiction fan, I am always looking for new authors to check out. I checked this one out mainly due to the praise that Bernard Cornwell heaped on it, and I was not dissapointed. In a nutshell, this is the start of a series, centering around the characters Macro and Cato. Loads of action, little doses of humour, and well developed characters (for this type of fiction) abound. Reads very much like one of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels, set in Roman times. Highly reccomended, I have since ordered all of the sequels.

Ce commentaire est de: Under the Eagle (Paperback)

A great first read. The characters leap off the page and the action makes you see the blood, sweat and triumph of Rome's legions.
I found the plot good for a first title and though some of the story seems a little contrived occasionally, I thought it a good start for a new series.
Looking forward to more in the next book, The Eagle's Conquest.

If you like military fiction in any age, and prefer that it moves quickly, has bloody action and a little conspiracy and intrigue on the side, then Simon Scarrow writes for you... Lisez davantage

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent historical fiction!
Lets just say the first few pages hooked me, and I wound up buying ALL of the sequels within the week. Best historical fiction writer that I have read since Steven Pressfield!

1.0 out of 5 stars A few hours I'll never get back
I regret the time I wasted on this clunker.

For a so-called "military adventure" there's an awful lot of chatty, head-in-the-clouds characters. Lisez davantage
