I've had a look at the books and the summary sound good. I think I may add it to my 'to get list'
I saw a book that I think was by him called Gladiator I think? Its the one with the kid holding a galdius on the front. I imagined it to be a child's heroic story type book so I never looked into it. I like the look of the Under the Eagle book, I may have a look into that further.
Thanks for both recommendations =)
Please keep them coming. The more the merrier.
