I enjoyed Roman Woman too.<br>
<br>
I received Scarrow's 'Under the Eagle' on Christmas day and had finished it Boxing Day morning. I couldn't put it down, which didn't make me very popular over Christmas!<br>
<br>
I really enjoyed Cato and Macro's adventures. The descriptions of the battles and skirmishes really painted a fantastically graphic and bloody picture of how it must have been and the foul language used by the soldiers brought to life how things were in the Second Legion (even though purists may frown over the use of Anglo-Saxon swearing I thought it added to the atmosphere. Centurion Macro headbutting a howling German during a fight, smashing his nose with his helmet, and shouting "Piss off you bugger!" made me laugh!).<br>
<br>
'The Eagle's Conquest' is on its way to me via Amazon, 'The Eagle's Quarry' is at the printers and Simon Scarrow has just signed a deal to write the fourth, fifth and sixth books. Hurrah!<br>
