De: Simon Scarrow

Narrado por: Russell Boulter

IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIMON SCARROW, YOU DON'T KNOW ROME!

THE EAGLE IN THE SAND is the action-packed seventh novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series. Essential reading for fans of Bernard Cornwell. 'Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best' Independent

Judaea in AD 46. Roman centurions Cato and Macro have been posted to Judaea for a 'hearts and minds' operation. The Empire needs to win over the locals after some of their religious figures have started revolts - and since the Romans crucified the last charismatic Judaean leader, the natives' rebellions have become bolder.

Not only are these small villages causing trouble, but there are also thousands of Parthians eager to fight Rome. With the threat of suicide attacks and even all-out war, Cato and Macro have their peace-keeping work cut out...

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Simon Scarrow: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read' (Bernard Cornwell)

Gripping... ferocious and compelling, it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice

A new book in Simon Scarrow's series about the Roman army is always a joy

A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff

Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best

Rollicking good fun

[Simon Scarrow] blends together historical facts and characters to create a book that simply cannot be put down... Highly recommended

Loved the book. Narrator does great job of differentiating voices. Am rooting for Macro to find love. Love roman history

Great

Narrator is incredible, and story is just as good as previous titles in the series

Narration too low compared with rest of speaking.

Narration too low compared with rest of speaking. The speaker needs to adjust the levels of the performance. Hard to listen in a car.

MORE!

Any additional comments?

I want more Simon Scarrow! Stop messing about with the abridged versions and make available the unabridged!

Confused over a small part of the backstory

The only complaint I have is that I am not sure of the Jesus or “j’hashua” mentioned in the backstory is meant to be the actual Jesus, or one of the off-shoot messianic figures that cropped up in history. The reason it confuses me is if it’s really meant to be Jesus, then Scarrow needs to read the Bible again. The things he claims that Jesus taught is way off the mark, such as that his whole purpose was to liberate Israel from the Romans. That is what the Jews THOUGHT He was supposed to do, they didn’t see that what He was doing was so much bigger than Rome vs Israel. Anyway, small complaint, the story is still STELLAR and the performance is outstanding. Well worth listening
