The Eagle Has Fallen by Brian Young
Requirements: MOBI reader | 583 KB
Overview: One of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the Roman Empire which archaeologists and historians have sought to resolve is the apparent disappearance of the Ninth Legion in Britain. The loss of an entire Legion numbering upwards of four thousand fighting men, has been spun variously from a catastrophic military defeat to an almost supernatural ‘mass vanishing’.
Naturally this has meant the subject has been ripe for dramatization, as two recent films will testify. ‘The Eagle’ and ‘Centurion’ were both written as Roman stories highlighting the Ninth Legion.
However with so much speculation, the topic has often become an excuse to casually reinvent history rather than study the available facts.
This is where the inspiration for this book arose. The Eagle Has Fallen is an unravelling of that mystery and is based upon factual characters and events.
