A breathtakingly compelling story of a legion at war in the tradition of Conn Iggulden and Simon Scarrow
Over the past two decades Manda Scott has brought iconic historical
figures back to life, reimagined and re-booted for the twenty-first
century. Her crime novels have been shortlisted for many awards
including Hen's Teeth for the Orange Prize and No Good Deed for an
Edgar Award. Her work has been translated into over twenty
languages.
Manda's bestselling Boudica series was recently optioned for
television.
This is a book that honours all those who have fought for a cause.
It is a tale that shines like the Eagle at its heart.I suspect that
no one else writes like MC Scott. I’m certain plenty wish they
could.

Brutal, touching, learned and above all captivating. This story of
defeat and victory in Rome's war with Parthia had me hooked from
the first page.

M.C.Scott stakes a bold claim to a place in the canon of cherished
adventures. Rome: The Eagle of the Twelfth succeeds thrillingly.
It’s gripping, absorbing, and thoroughly entertaining, right to the
last moment of desperate action and decision.

Stirring stuff written by a lady who has proved her worth over and
over again, rivalling any other offerings by popular male writers
such as Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow.
