A Gathering of Eagles

Novels of Ancient Rome, Book 2

By: Lewis McIntyre

Narrated by: Harry Frost

The Emperor Trajan has called on Aulus Aemilius Galba to leave his good life with his wife and son to serve as his senior advisor in the developing crisis with Parthia, Rome's long-standing enemy. Aulus' cousin, Gaius Lucullus, is commanding the Twelfth Thunderbolt, his old legion, destined to be the pointed end of Romes spear in the looming conflict.

In the past ten years, the other veterans of Aulus epic Roman mission to China have moved on with their lives, scattered from Mongolia to China, from the sandstone city of Petra to Italy. But the Fates have conspired to draw all of them also, against all odds, into an unexpected reunion in the midst of Trajan's final war, Rome's invasion of Parthia.

Each must play their part in the struggle against the chaos of war and insurrection, fighting for their lives from the snowy mountains of Armenia to the deserts of Mesopotamia.

A fun adventure story, and also a great narrator 

This is the sequel to the eagle in the dragon, and then this book the old gang finds them selves together again this time in Parthia for emperor Trajan‘s attempt to add Mesopotamia to the Roman empire. There is plenty of action and adventure. It is an enjoyable story. But make sure you read the first novel prior to reading this one because this gives away a lot of spoilers for the first novel. The narrator did a good job using many voices and accents for the different characters.
