The Silver Eagle

Forgotten Legion Chronicles 2

By: Ben Kane

Narrated by: Michael Praed

The Forgotten Legion fought against almighty odds at the very edge of the known world - and lost.

Now Brennus the Gaul, Tarquinius the Etruscan soothsayer and Romulus, bastard son of a Roman nobleman, are prisoners of Parthia. They dream of escape, but in the brutal fighting which lies ahead, only two will survive.

Meanwhile, Fabiola, Romulus's twin sister, is caught up in the vicious eddies of Roman politics. Hunted by slave catchers she flees, hoping to find her lover, Brutus, bound for Alexandria with Caesar.

Ben Kane's brilliant second novel plunges his characters into a cauldron of war and terror, as Caesar and the Roman Republic hurtle towards their day of reckoning.

Feels a little repetetive in some terms.

Some lines are repeated way too much just for the sake of emphasis. Anyhow it is an enjoyable storytelling.

Great Book

I don't understand the negative reviews, book was fantastic. Ben Kane always delivers and the narrator was perfect

Good Second Book

Good second book to the series. Not quite as great as the first, however, I do believe this book will serve as a great bridge to the rest of the series. Really enjoyed this one.

Precise and accurate!

Incredibly written! I strongly recommend this book to anyone who’s a big fan of the Roman Empire and its adventures.
