'A master of the genre' The Times The Battle of the Lost Eagle
saved Hadrian's Wall, but the new Roman governor of Britannia must
stamp out the rebellion of the northern tribes or risk losing the
province. Rampaging south with sword and flame under the command of
their murderous chieftain Calgus, they have stretched his forces to
the limit. For Marcus - now simply Centurion Corvus of the 1st
Tungrian cohort - the campaign has become doubly dangerous. As
reinforcements flood into Britannia he is surrounded by new
officers with no reason to protect him from the emperor's henchmen.
Death could result from a careless word as easily as from an enemy
spear Worse, one of them is close on his heels. While Marcus is
training two centuries of Syrian archers to survive a barbarian
charge and then take the fight back to their enemy, the new prefect
of the 2nd Tungrians has discovered his secret. Only a miracle can
save Marcus and the men who protect him from disgrace and death . .
. Anthony Riches once again brings meticulous research together
with brilliant storytelling to capture the authentic feel of what
life was like for the Roman Army in a brutal war with a remorseless
enemy.
