Simon Scarrow is a high school history teacher living in Norfolk, England. Under the Eagle is his first book.
"A warmly welcome sequel looks assured." --Kirkus Reviews
"...spectacular tale of intrigue, adventure, and glory in the Roman
legions ... This enthralling historical drama is distinguished by
its meticulously detailed portrayal of life in the mighty Roman
army." --Booklist "The characters are so life-like they almost
spring of the page.... An engrossing storyline, full of
teeth-clenching battles, political machinations, treachery, honour,
love, and death." -Elizabeth Chadwick, award-winning author of The
Marsh King's Daughter. "Everyone has been raving about the film
Gladiator, but Cato's story is its equal in bloody cut and thrust
and has the bonus of conspiracy and intrigue to give it extra
flavour." -The Northern Echo (UK) "A good, uncomplicated,
rip-roaring read." -Mail on Sunday (UK) "Historically very
accurate... The story also moves along very nicely, with plenty of
action, and has a pretty twisty plot. If Cornwell or Forester is
your idea of good reading, give this one a try." -South Wales Argus
(UK) "A good story well written is a pleasure to read. Scarrow does
this and more in his debut historical novel... Tightly paced...
Fans of the historical novel... will appreciate Scarrow's detailed
research." -Cambridgeshire Journal (UK) "A gripping tale."
-Warrington Guardian (UK)
