Story
The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

Genghis Khan was born Temujin, the son of a khan, raised in a clan of hunters migrating across the rugged steppe. Shaped by abandonment and betrayal, Temujin endured, driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon. Through a series of courageous raids, Temujin's legend grew until he was chasing a vision: to unite many tribes into one, to make the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of 1,000 warhorses, to subject all nations and empires to his will.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

Engrossing!
This was a great story. It was superbly written with plenty of action, but also with great context, background and a description of the time and place that made me feel I was there. It was genuinely hard to stop listening, and after my long commute I often found myself wishing I was not yet at my destination. The reading was outstanding.

One of the best Sharpe Books
This is classic Sharpe. He is still learning to be an officer but has the respect of his men and now is attached to a regiment. He saves a colour and captures an eagle. This books explains nicely how tactics and battles are fort. Frederick Davidson does an excellent job with narrating it but I have to admit I don't like his Harper's voice. Simonset is annoying but in character. Bernard Cornewell did very well with this book and sets you up nicely to fall in love with the entire series.

Great concept, great book, same Sharpe
I like the Sharpe books a lot but it always bothers me to no end how every single book, which I understand needs at least 1 antagonist, is always filled with haters that are suppose to be 'his side' fighting the french... in most wars u would NEVER find a NCO's advice & honor tread on like Sharpe is, plus after his accomplishments. It seems I'm always waiting for him to take revenge on a fellow soldier more than an enemy he can hate but respect, which in some books is the entire point. BUT With all craziness of buying ur own army & having the audacity to blame others for problems anyone present could easily see was not an underlings fault plus having family & the always faithful moron following this person I'm surprised anyone won these wars with the thinking these books put forth.
But like I've said to other people who read historical fictions... in the end, its FICTION, so I don't try to make too many complaints especially when the narrator does a great job, the book has feuds that turn into blood feuds, & all this going on while he keeps an 'impossible' promise to a friend. It was also interesting to hear the actual historical data relayed at the end of the book in regards to what happened during the book as well
Highly recommend this book if u are picking & choosing through the over 20 some Sharpe books or if ur a fanatic u won't be disappointed

Sharpe's Eagle- Great Listening Experience
I purchased this book as a first attempt at historical fiction. I found it difficult to find a good place to stop listening. I enjoy historical fiction and this one contains enough historical detail to keep it interesting just from that point of view. In addition, it has a very compelling plot and enough interesting characters to keep the listener engaged through out the telling of this story. I would recommend listening to this series in order if possible. The first available is Sharpe's Rifles. Start there and see what you think.

Great and you don't have to have read the others
One of the wonderful features of the Sharp's novel is that any one is a stand alone. Cornwell writes the best historical fiction around. Not only does he include lots of backround but he is a master of creating swashbuckling characters and great situations.
The rendition of the book was excellent, the characters were 100% in place and believable.
Rent any of the Sharp's books and you won't be dissapointed!

Always a great listen
Any Sharpes novel can be listened to in any order. That’s what Cornwell does so great with Richard Sharpe. The reader does a great job also and keeps me entertained with all his readings.
