From ‘the rising star of historical fiction’ (Wilbur Smith), the first in a new gripping three-part series, based on real historical events. Three Roman legions massacred. Three Imperial Eagles lost. One man vies for revenge.

'The battle of the Teutoburg Forest, or Varian Disaster, took place in Germany, in September of AD 9. Three Roman legions were massacred by native tribes in a supremely well executed ambush. The defeat was one of the greatest ever suffered by Rome, and the body blow it delivered was one of the reasons that the Empire never again made a serious attempt to conquer Germany.
All my books are born from my obsession with Roman history, and this one was no different. Planning and writing a series of novels about the lead-up to this conflict, the battle itself and its aftermath has been thrilling. I have twice visited the area of Germany in which the battle took place, and its many museums. Seeing the equipment, weapons, coins and even the bones of legionaries who’d died in battle didn’t just fuel my imagination – it stirred my soul.
Eagles at War is the first in my 'Eagles' trilogy of novels about the Varian disaster, and although it is a work of fiction, it is peopled by historical characters and is based on real events. I hope, like me, you will want to immerse yourself in this incredible story, to remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures, and to stand with Varus’ legionaries during the rain-soaked, muddy, bloody terror of Arminius’ ambush.'

Zustand: Bueno. : En el verano del año 9 d.C., Publio Varo, gobernador romano de Germania, y Lucio Tulo, un centurión acuartelado en el Rin, marchan hacia el este con tres legiones. Mientras se preparan para regresar a sus cuarteles de invierno, son atraídos fuera del camino y emboscados por guerreros germanos. Los germanos están liderados por Arminio, un jefe que es un aliado de confianza de Roma, y un hombre que ha estado planeando en secreto traicionar al imperio desde la infancia. Atrapando a los legionarios de Varo entre una ladera y un pantano, e impidiéndoles así formarse o usar su artillería, Arminio y sus guerreros causan una terrible matanza. La derrota romana es abrumadora, pero no es hasta el tercer día de la masacre que la escala de la victoria de Arminio se hace evidente. Tres legiones, más de catorce mil hombres, han sido aniquiladas, y tres preciados estandartes del águila se han perdido. Solo unos pocos cientos de legionarios, incluido Tulo, logran escapar. Tampoco ha terminado la terrible experiencia de los supervivientes. Perseguidos hasta el último fuerte romano al este del Rin, son asediados por miles de tribus sedientas de sangre. Solo los dioses pueden salvarlos ahora.

Hardback. Ben Kane, Cornerstone. BASED ON REAL HISTORICAL EVENTS A TIME FOR VENGEANCE AD 9, German frontier- Close to the Rhine, a Roman centurion, Lucius Tullus , prepares to take his soldiers on patrol. On the opposite side of the river, German tribes are resentful of the harsh taxes about to be imposed upon them. Suspicious that there might be unrest, Tullus knows that his men's survival will be determined not just by their training and discipline, but by his leadership. A TIME FOR WAR What neither Tullus nor his commander, Governor Varus, realise is that ranged against them is the charismatic chieftain and trusted ally of Rome, Arminius , who has long been plotting to drive the Romans from the tribal lands east of the Rhine. A TIME TO DIE As Varus' legions prepare to leave their summer encampment, thousands of warriors - directed by Arminius - are massing nearby. Eager to throw off the Roman yoke, the tribesmen prepare a deadly ambush. Only the gods can save the Romans now. Hardback. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781848094048-SECONDHAND
