The Eagle in the Sand Audiobook Free
The Eagle in the Sand Audiobook is a novel written by Simon Scarrow. It is the seventh audiobook in the Eagles of the Empire series, starting with Macro and Cato’s transfer to the eastern provinces of Rome.
Essential reading for fans of Bernard Cornwell.
Plot Summary
Judaea in AD 46. Roman centurions Cato and Macro have been posted to Judaea for a ‘hearts and minds’ operation. The Empire needs to win over the locals after some of their religious figures have started revolts – and since the Romans crucified the last charismatic Judaean leader, the natives’ rebellions have become bolder.
Not only are these small villages causing trouble, but there are also thousands of Parthians eager to fight Rome. With the threat of suicide attacks and even all-out war, Cato and Macro have their peace-keeping work cut out…
Audiobook Review
Another satisfying addition to the Eagle series although one with controversy, while Scarrow sticks to the realistic outlook of the Roman world of the 50 AD, the use of real religious characters might not sit well with many. He has been using real historical characters from the start of the series with the likes of Emperor’s and Kings but this time round its religious figures, well at least I didn’t have a problem, in fact, enjoyed The Eagle in the Sand Audiobook Mp3 quite a bit.
The friendship between the two centuries welds this story together and provides a good adventure. Although the author does not delve into Roman camp life as much as I would like, the story is still cohesive and the characters believable. Altogether a good story and fine narrator. I’d like to see more non-abridged works by Simon Scarrow.
