AD 14: Five long years have passed since the annihilation of three legions in the wilds of Germania. Demoted, battle-scarred, and hell-bent on revenge, Centurion Tullus and his legionaries begin their fight back. Ranged against them is the charismatic chieftain Arminius, determined to crush the Romans for a second time. Convinced that the eagle belonging to his old legion is close at hand, Tullus drives ever deeper into enemy lands. But with Arminius and his warriors closing in on the Romans, a murderous battle is about to begin.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The portrayal of the characters was sublime. Totally believable. The battle scenes were vivid and were very real in the telling. It was like being there, without the threat of being brutally maimed or killed, of course! Eagles at War is now definitely on my 'to be read' list." —Myths, Legends, Books & Coffee Pots

"Kept me riveted to the page for every word. You will honestly struggle to find any more real characters in any Roman book. I highly recommend this and all Ben Kane’s books, if you have not read his work . . . why?? please go do so." —Parmenion Books

"A triumph." —Sunday Express

"Excellent . . . another compelling, dark tale." —the Times

"Hunting the Eagles is a fantastic novel, a triumph of Roman historical fiction, as thrilling as you could ask for, while still showing how complicated the situation was, how frenzied, on the borders of the empire. The setting is so well done. Ben Kane’s thorough research into the period, warfare and the location really pays off. Hunting the Eagles is not only a terrific follow up to Eagles of War, one of the best books of 2015 in my opinion, but also superb in its own right." —For Winter Nights

"This brutal and bloody book should be at the top of your must-read list." —CultureFly "6 Must Read Books for Autumn"

"Kane puts you right in fighting slog . . . it’s blood and bravery all the way." —Northern Echo

"A thundering second book in the series from a master storyteller." —Peterborough Evening Telegraph

    'History is more than facts on a pages. It's the sounds, the smells, the people, the passion. History should make you think: "I was there."

    My books are born from my obsession with Roman history. I've followed Spartacus' trail across Italy. I've stood at Cannae and imagined Hannibal's army meeting the massed legions of Rome. I've watched the sea lapping against the fortifications of Syracuse, which were besieged by the Romans for almost two years. I've walked Hadrian's Wall in full Roman military dress, including hobnailed boots.

    Immerse yourself in these incredible stories and - like me - remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures.' - Ben Kane

This is a FABULOUS follow up to Eagles At War. Not only is the next series of historical events fascinating and enthralling, but it is also fun to get to know the characters further and to "see" them in action. The story moves quickly and is very entertaining. Tullus and Piso and crew are joined by the awesome Germanicus on their quest for revenge, and it is worth every minute. Can't wait for the next book!

I had read one of Kane's books and was so taken with his writing that one that I wondered if he could keep it up, and he has. He has a writing style that flows and keeps you moving throughout. I loved the character descriptions that made it seem you knew them. You became involved with their lives and lived their experiences. He set the scene and kept the suspense going until the climax. I found his work captivating and there was enough depiction of battles back in those days so that you could sympathize with those engaged in it. You could almost smell the scenes. Can't wait to read another of his books.

Ben Kane is absolutely brilliant in Hunting The Eagles! I rarely find myself drawn into a book the way I was drawn into this book. You find yourself connected to the characters and feeling the fear of the legionaries and the pain in Centurion Tullus' back. I personally cannot wait for the third installment of this seies. All of Ben Kane's historical fiction is great but The Eagles Series stands out from the rest. You will not be able to put this book down, trust me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nail-biting, intense and gripping: a powerful addition to the trilogy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
Having adored Eagles at War, I didn’t wait long before starting the next book. Hunting the Eagles has the steadier pace you often see in middle-of-the-trilogy books, but that didn’t diminish the tension or action. Like the first one, the characterisations drew me in and the nail-biting battles kept me hooked.

Time has passed since the catastrophic events of the first book and you can tell in the way the characters have changed. Still reeling from the defeat, the treatment of the soldiers after the battle and burning with revenge, Tullus has a bitter streak not present before. The subtle undertones of character development are clever: he never goes against the grain, but you can see his loss of respect for superiors and how they have to earn it back this time.

He’s still my favourite. His troops love him, will die for him, and know he will do the same for them. He’s got a reputation, one that allows him to be heard when others would be ignored and he’s fiercely loyal to a regime that ultimately betrayed him after the forest ambush.

Piso comes into himself this time. He’s not a new recruit in over his head, but a veteran loyal to his centurion and determined to do what is right, even if that places him in danger. You really get the sense of how he has grown and his bravery and determination shine through. A fierce contender for the favourite spot.

I still don’t like Arminius. But as the deception isn’t as strong in this book, I did warm to him: he’s determined, brave and will do whatever it takes, even shelving his pride, to unite the clans. You see a more vulnerable side to him this time, which makes him more relatable.

There are two parts of the plot this time; the Romans falling apart by themselves, and the Germans helping tear them apart. It was engaging to see more of a camp life this time – it allowed for Tullus and Piso to show how things had changed. It also shows what kind of leader Tullus is that he can keep his men from mutiny even while the rest of the army falls apart. He commands such loyalty from those who follow him!

Naturally, a large-scale battle took place in the second half. Would this be a Ben Kane book if not? But while it still had the same tension as the previous book, you didn’t get the overwhelming helplessness this time around. Tullus and co have survived this once: they refuse to be beaten a second time and their determination is stronger this time.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t causalities though, and there was one death in particular that I felt – mainly because you know how the characters are going to react.

A strong second book that has kept me gripped and engrossed in the characters and the struggles they are facing. I’m looking forward to the third one and hope for a satisfying ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars The story develops as the offensive progresses and the Author is at his best in describing the battle scenes
Reviewed in India on January 21, 2017

This is the second in the Trilogy on the Eagles of Rome. The story takes off six years after the massacre of the Roman Legions in the Teutoburg Forest. The protagonist, Tullus, is grizzled and demoted but still thirsts for revenge as well as a burning desire for recovery of the Eagle of his Legion. The story takes off once Germanicus launches his offensive into German lands, where Arminius struggles to get a coalition together. The story develops as the offensive progresses and the Author is at his best in describing the battle scenes. The feelings and tensions amongst the common soldiers are well brought out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The grit & grime of roman army life: a cracking good read
Reviewed in Germany on July 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
I came accross the first book of this series (Eagles at War) while on holiday and was taken in from the very first page which is always a good sign. As a result I ordered the next book as soon as I got home and was not disappointed. We follow the main character Tullus to the border of the Rhein river and then back into Germania itself seeking revenge. While this book takes a little time to get going as the author deals with the army mutiny following the death of Augustus, I still found it gripping. The story is historically acurate as we see Gernanicus visiting the site of the Teutoberg disaster for example as well as Ben Kane's wonderful descriptions of the day to day grit and grime of life in the roman army. What comes accross very well, not just in this, but in all his books is that the "glory" of the roman empire was built on brutality, blood and slavery. In all a cracking good read and as we have to wait for the final book to come out next year I have settled into Ben's "The Forotten Legion" series which I can also highly recommend!
