A truly wonderful and ferocious slice of historical fiction, this is the second in the ‘Eagles of Rome’ series and takes place from AD 12. I really do recommend starting this reading adventure with ‘Eagles at War’ before moving on to ‘Hunting the Eagles’. Fair, steadfast and honourable Tullus still has nightmares about the catastrophic defeat the Romans suffered in Germania, and he thirsts for revenge. Ben Kane writes on an epic scale, yet adds to the vivid brutal reality of the times using seemingly small yet vital details. The descriptions of warcraft, of the logistical support, and the field of battle are intensely sharp and dynamic. By setting characters in place from both sides, and using facts and people recorded in history, this tale brilliantly and vibrantly comes to life. Striking, full of information, yet beautifully readable, this is a real treat. ~ Liz Robinson
