Glad i discovered this series. 4.5⭐️

March 22, 2024Excellent and gripping with every page turn.
Having read books 1 and 2, this carries on the story at the same pace. Wonderful Characters and a great story, that keep you glued to every page. The best thing about this book, is that I finish it half a mile from the Appian way, in Rome. After visiting the Colliseum yesterday and the Forum and Paletine hill, I can imagine these brave brothers in arms finally reaching Rome and being hailed as heroes. I can't wait for book four.

Well written and engaging historical novel about life in a Roman legion. Interesting characters but not too many, and you get to relate to story which is fictional, but captures the spirit of the period. Reminds of some of the Bernard Cornwell novels.

Great characters
I throughly enjoyed these 3 books in what I hope is a long series.
While not exactly fast paced it is great story telling of what we think the 106 B.C. Era for Roman Legionnaires was all about.

That's book three reax
Enjoyable yarn with some familiar and new characters. Roman politics and the desire for advancement provides a background to a normal soldiers life and sometimes death.

Ground Level Roman Legionaires
Neil Denby takes you back to the everyday life of a Roman fighting man in the 1st century C.E. You become a legionaire. Denby is magnificent. I'm on to Book Three! ,

Lost Eagle
Another good read,although it seemed that the various factions seem to worry more about sacrificing to their gods than fighting.

After struggling at the beginning of book one all I can say is that it was worth it! Each book got better and better, I enjoyed following all the main characters and getting to know them more. The end of every chapter made it so difficult to take a break. I could happily read more about them and see what else they could all get up to.
