Under The Eagle

This is an enjoyable adventure story that smacks slightly of 80's buddy movies, with the new guy and the experienced veteran who unhappily takes him under his wing.[return][return]It's fascinating to read a roman story that doesn't focus entirely on the political chicanery but more on the life of the common soldier. The story flows well with a good build up to the final few action sequences and story twists.[return][return]I certainly intend to pick up the rest of the series and I'm kicking myself that I didn't go down to see the author when he appeared at my local bookseller recently!
