The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

From "the master of alternate history" comes a new trilogy that reimagines a mid-20th century in which General MacArthur, without bothering to consult President Truman, detonates nuclear warheads in several Manchurian cities after China enters the Korean War. In his acclaimed novels of alternate history, Harry Turtledove has scrutinized the twisted soul of the 20th century, from the forces that set World War I in motion to the rise of fascism in the decades that followed.

Publisher's Summary
It's The Last of the Mohicans meets HBO's Rome in this inventive conclusion to the Clash of Eagles Trilogy from Sidewise Award winner Alan Smale.
It's The Last of the Mohicans meets HBO's Rome in this inventive conclusion to the Clash of Eagles Trilogy from Sidewise Award winner Alan Smale.
Tasked with subjugating North America for the Roman Imperium in AD 1218, Praetor Gaius Marcellinus lost his entire legion but gained a powerful sense of purpose in uniting the peoples of the new world. Ending the seasons-old Mourning War between the five nations of the Iroqua and the plains-based Cahokians, Gaius was able to garner an uneasy truce between these united tribes and a Roman war machine hungry for gold and conquest. But Rome's long-standing conflict with the Mongol Horde has spilled over into North America. As the invaders of the steppes ride over the Rocky Mountains into the central plains, a massive conflict looms on the horizon like a thunderhead. This battle will change this world, and Gaius, forever.

One of the best Alt History novels out there!
Would you listen to Eagle and Empire again? Why?
Yes. One of the best trilogy endings since Return of the King.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Maka. Always loyal and true to the end.
What about Kevin Orton’s performance did you like?
His voice acting was very good. Not over the top but just right. Even with the women chareacter's dialogue.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Nova Hespiria Trilogy
Any additional comments?
I wish they'd make a movie trilogy for the books.
