Thanks Alan.My book is fiction and therefore not a reference book.
I have written it as accurately as possible and it is my first book.
I am aware that different people have different views about the Ninth legion.Its ulimate fate has been argued over by many people for hundreds of years.
I have posted some reviews which indicate the enormous interest in the subject of the Ninth.
And yes it does have a woman in it! :-)
“The author obviously has done his research and brings the times and politics of ancient Rome to life, but this is no dry history book but a page turning novel, packed with action and believable characters, well worth reading.” John A (on amazon.co.uk)
“Imaginatively structured ‘The Eagle has Fallen’ may be, but Young takes no undue liberties with history, giving his fiction a very high degree of plausibility . . . I have no hesitation in recommending this book, a crisp, engaging, intelligent, soundly researched and gripping story, one that is well-paced and easy to read in the best page turning tradition. For a first novel it’s a commendable piece of work. It’s a measure of the author’s success that I now want to find out more about the whole period.” - Anna The Imp (read her full comments here.)
“The Eagle Has Fallen” is a saga of the far reaching influence and power of ancient Rome.
Brian Young presents a credible plot with a plausible hypothesis of an enduring historical mystery.The narrative is presented as a fast moving tale that incorporates various themes including history, ancient politics, military stratagems, intrigue, adventure and romance.
The story is well told, easily read and worth reading.” – David McMahon (on amazon.co.uk)
“This is a great read! A real page turner and one that kept the bedside light burning well into the wee small hours! The depictions of the inner workings of Rome and its outposts together with the heroes and villains that unfold along the way draw you in to a long lost world and keeps you wondering, long after you’ve finished the book, is this what really happened to the ninth…?” - Gary S. (on amazon.co.uk)
“Really great first book – I can take or leave historical fiction, but this is LOVED! The settings and accuracy of the histotical content are superb. This has all the attributes to be made into a film (a la “The Eagle” & “Centurion”), only this is fact. Looking forward to the authors next novel.” - Pigface51 (on amazon.co.uk)
