Tambo Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think Ottakers may have used a similar tack to a crack dealer. They give you the first one for 99p and get you hooked. I've just read Under the Eagle, and also like it. I smiled at the part where, whilst travelling through Gaul, one of the characters complains as to the quality of the local wine and wonders whether the locals will ever be able to produce some decent stuff.

Kell Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm almost completely up to date on this series - I have the 8th (and most recent) one waiting to be read. I've loved them all so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth Chadwick Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I was asked by his publishers to give a quote for Under The Eagle when Simon Scarrow was on the verge of having his first novel published. I'm very chary about giving quotes because I need to be honest about the content, but I needn't have worried. Under The Eagles was a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read.
