A review by traveller1
The Eagle in the Sand by Simon Scarrow
4.0
Another great read. Out two indestructible heroes travel to the east, suppress a potential revolt by a governor, meet the early christians, sight see in Petra, and are then sent to face the Parthians. All cool.
A few thoughts:
a. "Liberators"—any historical basis for believing that this group existed?
b. Referring to centurions as officers, would the term sergeants better? Though, as I understand it, the more senior centurions did perform duties which would be considered the duty of an officer in the modern world.
c. Claudius—Scarrow portrays him as rather addled. I don't think he was that incapable, or am I wrong?
