I just received my copy this week and so far it is an interesting read. He generally writes a good story. I'm not sure how much of it will deal with the battle itself. It starts with Varus' appointment by Augustus as governor of Germania, and Arminius with the Roman forces trying to subdue the rebellious Pannonians.
He's pulled some of his character names from Cassius Dio's account and from Florus' account of the events. So far, he has assumed most of the Roman soldiers, at least of Centurion rank and below, to be wearing mail.
