This is the final part of Ben Kane’s trilogy about the Roman invasion of Germany in AD15. Centurion Tullus will not rest until Arminius is dead and his old legion’s eagle is liberated.
Arminius, the crafty and charismatic tribal leader is determined to raise another large army to fight and destroy Germanicus and his Roman Legions. Can he use all his charm and resourcefulness to persuade the tribes to agree to another battle against the Romans?
The huge Roman army is frustrated by the long, cold wait for the planned spring invasion of Germania. Germanicus and Tullus carefully plan their strategy for the defeat of Arminius and being reunited with the 18th legion’s eagle – a perilous and bloody mission for all.
Once again Ben Kane is a master storyteller, the historical detail is amazing – death, destruction and bloodshed are everywhere.
Ben Kane was born in Kenya but educated in Ireland. Following University in Dublin he travelled the world extensively enjoying his passion for ancient history. He lives with his wife and two children in North Somerset.
