Customer Reviews

Classic historical fiction - Rated 5/5
At the age of eight, I read Eagle of the Ninth, my first encounter with historical fiction. I became hooked. Since then, I have been read Nigel Tranter, John Prebble, Conn Igguden, Simon Scarrow, Ruth Downie, and many others.

Forty-four years later, re-reading this classic is no less exciting for me. My view is that it should be compulsory reading in primary school as it really does bring Roman Britain to life. It is an exciting adventure that could possibly have been reality. It is certainly tinged with historic fact.

This book had an amazing positive effect on my life in that it gave me an enormous appetite for books, not just historical fiction. However, it did have a slightly negative effect on my life. I was always in trouble with my history teachers for doubting what they told me. After all, when they were teaching me current affairs, I was guided not to believe everything that the papers say. My challenge was always that the contemporary commentators, or historians, that they expected me to believe were no less than the journalists of their time. Why couldn't the historical fiction of which I was so fond be nearer to the truth than their history text books?

Eagle of the Ninth is a fantastic read. Whatever your age, if you haven't read this book already, read it now!


Brings Roman-Celtic Britain to honourable life.... - Rated 4/5
A rich and involving Historical yarn makes great use of a mystery surrounding a lost Roman Legion.....Characters are loveable and honour-bound and there are strong, evocative descriptions of early Britain where the still-prominent Celtic tribes gave grief to the Romans, far from home. The vital forces of friendship, loyalty (crossing divides) and duty breathe from a time that must have required them. For young adults and beyond this book is a great way to understand more about the occupation of early Britain, and the tales from both sides that intermingle through the hero's personal quest.
