Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Sutcliff has a genius for the re-creation of an historical period." --Horn Book Reflections

"An unusual blend of stirring action and poetic symbolism. Authentic in background, skillful in plot, and perceptive in characterization." --Booklist

"Imaginatively conceived." --The New Yorker

"Decades later, I can still hear echoes of The Eagle of the Ninth in my head: the chink of mail, the tired beat of the legionaries' feet." --The Independent

"What a splendid story it is, compulsive reading!" --Junior Bookshelf

Reseña del editor:

The Ninth Legion marched into the mists of Northern Britain—and they were never seen again. Four thousand men disappeared and their eagle standard was lost. It's a mystery that's never been solved, until now . . .

Marcus has to find out what happened to his father, who led the legion. So he sets out into the unknown, on a quest so dangerous that nobody expects him to return.
