Inhaltsangabe

Five long years have passed since the annihilation of three Roman legions in the wilds of Germania. Varus, the general who led the ill-fated army, is long dead, and the bones of his 15,000 legionaries moulder in the forests. But not all the Romans were slain in the ambush. Centurion Tullus, a seasoned veteran, survived, and now he lives for revenge upon the tribal chieftain Arminius, who masterminded the ambush. Tullus will stop at nothing to kill his bitterest enemy or to recover his legion's lost Eagle.

At first, fortune seems to be with the Romans. Germanicus, the general appointed to lead punitive campaigns against the tribes, is resourceful and courageous. His armies are vast, dwarfing those of the enemy, and the initial clashes are won by the legions. Yet Arminius is far from defeated. Charismatic and determined, he gathers together thousands of warriors for a second time. Their purpose is to visit death and destruction upon Rome's legions, to repeat what was done five years before. Stalking Germanicus' forces day and night, they watch and wait for the perfect moment to strike.

Can Tullus prevent another disaster? And will he ever recover his legion's Eagle?

Good sequel, sequel though.

Nicely written with good character development and empathetic description of the characters in the usual well crafted way Ben Kane is so good at. A relieve, that the overly repeated plot twist of poor hapless characters (dependent soldier) mistreated or even deceived by a superior has been reigned-in this time. I do feel this to be a bit over-utilized not only by Ben Kane but all of the authors of this genre.
As always with Brn Ksne, great imaginative and reslistic historical details of people, soldiers and their lives during this early imperial Roman time 2.000 years ago!

First time I read about how the unrest of a legion could have played out - very interesting to weave the longer term repercussions on morale and discipline into the plot. Provides a feeling how (much later in history) the soldier Ceasars emerged and how the whole system de-stabilized.

I only provided 4 stars for the story as I did find the overall plot meandering a bit too much w/o a strong, main storyline and w/o a main focal point.

Of course, with that regard, it was much easier to write the first book of this trilogy with the cataclysmic Roman defeat in the Teutoburger forest. I wonder, if a bit more storytelling about the difficult relationship between Germanicus and Tiberius would have provided a historically more dense context and thus more “beef” to the story.
But I must stress, I’m a quite strict critique, and I literally have never seen the second book of a trilogy surpass the first one. Any reader of the first book will wish to read this sequel and will be very happy with it.

Finally, David Rintoul’s reading performance is once again absolutely outstanding!
