Summary
If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!
When the Eagle Hunts is the compelling third novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Eagles of the Empire series. For fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.
Britannia, AD 44. Cato, a thoughtful junior officer in the Roman army, and his commanding centurion, Macro, are simply pawns in Rome's lust to conquer Britain. During the freezing winter, the two men and their legion fight the native savages in hand-to-hand battles that haunt Cato for days after. But in a place full of enemies, the most vicious are the Druids of the Dark Moon; brutal, merciless men who have captured the wife and children of General Plautius himself. So Macro and Cato are given a mission: to travel deep into enemy territory and recover the hostages. If they fail, the fate of the Roman army may just hang in the balance....

Enjoyable story, great performance
Enjoyed the story, especially the details about druid customs in Britain. There were flashes of real horror which were surprising and dark. But the story stretched credibility tbh...and there are some tough parenting tips to be learnt...but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's read the first two books!

Hooked
I have to say that I am truly hooked on this series. Three books in after each other with nothing in between. David Thorpe's narrative is so good that everytime I start listening, it feels like my fictional family come alive. The stories so far have been an absolute delight with a fast but steady progression. The vivid explanation of surroundings and deep thoughts of the characters just ad to the cinematic feel of the narrated voice of Mr Thorpe. I am now on a mission to get through the whole series without any other audible in between.

When The Eagle Hunts
A great 3rd part of the story. Well read out. Only gripe is he can’t say Cato properly! But a very engaging story.

An enthralling yarn
This is a very enjoyable story, particularly through its second listen. Well narrated by a reader who pitches the different characters well. My only criticism is that for me the reader’s mispronunciation of Cato’s name can be annoying, but overall, David Thorpe is an accomplished reader who brought the story to life.

GREAT STORY!
I must admit this series within the Roman legion just keeps getting better and better. It's good knowing the history, as I am keen to see how the author develops the journey of Carto and Macro by Vespasian's side
