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

When the Eagle Hunts is the compelling third novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. For fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

Britannia, AD 44. Cato, a thoughtful junior officer in the Roman army, and his commanding centurion, Macro, are simply pawns in Rome's lust to conquer Britain. During the freezing winter, the two men and their legion fight the native savages in hand-to-hand battles that haunt Cato for days after. But in a place full of enemies, the most vicious are the Druids of the Dark Moon; brutal, merciless men who have captured the wife and children of General Plautius himself. So Macro and Cato are given a mission: to travel deep into enemy territory and recover the hostages. If they fail, the fate of the Roman army may just hang in the balance....

I wasn't so keen on the author when i started the series of books but he's grown on my and class him as one of my favourite narrators. I was sad to find he's not doing the subsequent books, so I doubt I will continue the series on Audible. The story itself is great though, so maybe i'll just buy the hardcopy.

Great narration, great book.

I’ve listened to many books on audible and heard innumerable narrators but David Thorpe takes the cake.

Simon Scarrow’s series is an enjoyable and well made compilation of competently composed novels (too much alliteration?). One I’ve read many times over in hard copy.

But listening to David Thorpe’s interpretation has given me a new respect for the books he brings to life with such expertise. To call him a mere narrator would be a slight to the skill he possesses. This is a man who demonstrates some of the greatest skills of the voice acting industry.

A good story made excelllent.

Great characters, a weak but luck guy, a funny super hero, a funny strong man, a strong smart woman. Everyone in there place was war continues in Britain as the Roman Empire tries to defeat the people.

Fantastic ride
