The writing is best up close and focused – legionaries standing shoulder to shoulder to repel a charge, that kind of thing. Little touches make the setting seem more real, grounding the events in history. and while I’m sure there are errors, none of them were jarring ones. Kane’s clearly paid a lot of attention to detail. One strength of the book is the attention to detail. Arminius is the one pulling all of the strings, so seeing his plots fills in the key information before the fighting starts. It’s a good choice – Tullus is the more sympathetic character, but he’s less well informed. The viewpoint in Eagles at War is relatively evenly divided between Arminius, the leader of the German tribes, and Tullus, a veteran centurion. It’s a bold choice for the ending of a book, striking a very low note, but there are sequels, which I imagine manage to be a little more upbeat. The book ends with the defeat, only a few survivors struggling out of the forest. Kane starts off with the build up to it – you know that eventually the battle is coming, but most of the book is taken up with the tribes’ preparations and the Romans’ failure to realise what is going on. Obviously, that’s not the entire plot of the book. Three Roman legions march into Germany under the command of Quintillius Varus. I don’t think many people read historical fiction in a state of surprise. Seuss William Shakespeare J.R.R.Eagles at War tells the story of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Given that it’s one of the most famous military upsets in all of recorded history, I don’t think I’m giving away any plot twists here if I talk about it.
