Summary

If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!

The Eagle and the Wolves is the gripping fourth novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

Britannia, AD 44. Occupation is never easy. The enemy is butchering their supply convoys, their garrison town is starving and the truce with the locals is uneasy at best. Young Cato, newly promoted, and veteran centurion Macro are ordered to train the Wolves and the Boars, two cohorts of barbarian Britons, and introduce them to the brutal drills of the Roman Imperial Army. Macro is confident they'll win the natives over, but Cato worries about putting weapons into the hands of potential rebels. Ultimately, only one thing matters: is there a difference between the enemy at their gates, and the allies in their own camp?

Different narrator

Shame they changed the narrator from the previous 3 books. Changed the feel of the characters and took some getting used too.

Performance was changed for the first 2 books

The performance was change from the first two books which had a negative effect on my enjoyment of listening to this book. Not because of the performance for but particularly poor however it was different to the first two books the pronunciation of key characters and terminology is changed from the first two performances along with the characters voices this made the book far less enjoyable
