Description

Eagles at War by Ben Kane is a gripping historical fiction novel based on real events. In 9 CE, three Roman legions are massacred and three Imperial Eagles are lost in a devastating ambush led by Arminius, a chieftain who has been secretly planning to betray the empire since childhood.

The Roman governor of Germania, Publius Varus, and centurion Lucius Tullus lead their legions east with high hopes, but they are lured off the road and ambushed by German warriors. The Germans trap Varus' legionaries between a hillside and a marsh, preventing them from forming up or using their artillery, and wreak a terrible slaughter.

The survivors are pursued to the last Roman fort east of the Rhine, where they are besieged by thousands of bloodthirsty tribesmen. With their ordeal far from over, only the gods can save them now.
