Under the Eagle – A Quick Review

[  Mood: Distorted ]
[ Currently: Sweating like a pig ]
Cato has just been freed by the Emperor Claudius. For this he has his late father to thank. Apparently, his father’s dying wish was that Cato be a free man, but continue to serve the empire.

What better way to do that then by joining the army.

So Cato is placed with the Second legion. Emperor Claudius manages to secure Cato a rank, even though most men wait years to be promoted. Cato must learn to be a soldier, deal with the resentment of the vetrans and adjust to life outside the palace, all while trying to be second in command of a century.

Simon Scarrow has created a historical tale that is rich in detail and intrigue. His charaters are real, flawed and enjoyable. I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would and am already onh the list for the second book at the library.
