AD 15. The German chieftain Arminius has been defeated, one of the lost Roman eagles recovered, and thousands of German tribesmen slain.
Yet these successes aren’t nearly enough for senior centurion Lucius Tullus. Not until Arminius is dead, his old legion’s eagle found and the enemy tribes completely vanquished will he rest.
But Arminius – devious, fearless – is burning for revenge of his own.
Charismatic as ever, he raises another large tribal army, which will harry the Romans the length and breadth of the land.
Soon Tullus finds himself in a cauldron of bloodshed, treachery and danger.
His mission to retrieve his legion’s eagle will be his most perilous yet…

Hi Ben: I have been a fan since the Forgotten Legion books, read everything since. Hannibal and Spartacus books too. From Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA – out on the Midwestern great plains of America. I have always enjoyed reading about Roman history, your books are excellent! I think in a past life I must have been a Roman legionnaire…
Hi there, @kduxbury, and thanks for your message! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoy my books. My wife thinks I must have been a Roman soldier in a previous life as well! Please spread the word as much as you can – my books don’t sell well in America at all, sadly. Best wishes to you – Ben.

Wow Ben, I have just read the first chapter of “Eagles in the Storm”. What a blinding opener! Thrilled, can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
Hi Monique – thank you, I’m pleased you like it! I hope you enjoy the rest of the book too. Best wishes – Ben.

Buenas tardes, Octavio. Muy buen nombre – Romano! Gracias por tu mensaje y palabras amables. No se cuando publicar la proxima novela sobre Anibal – estas novelas no venden como mis otros – es una lastima. Aguilas en la Tormenta saldra mas tarde en 2017. Saludos! Ben.
Sorry your books don’t sell well in the US. I just bought a signed copy of Eagles in the Storm at The Poisoned Pen bookstore in Scottsdale, Arizona. Let’s see whether we can turn this sales numbers around!
@bhop46: A signed copy? WOW! I wonder where they bought that from – it must be from the UK. Many thanks anyway; I hope you enjoy the book, and please keep spreading the word. Best wishes to you – Ben
I have just read Eagles in the Storm – what an utterly captivating book, I couldn’t put it down and finished it in record time! Your best book by a mile! Will miss Tullus and his gang though, what great characters! Thanks for the thrilling ride, Ben.
Hi Monique, and dank u wel for your kind words! I am so pleased you liked it the most. Best wishes! Ben
greetings from New Zealand – I have read all your books and truly appreciated the characters and events that you portrayed in this trilogy, just one question for you – did you always intend to have the character of Piso killed at the end or did you decide it added more weight or something along those lines? regards Josh
Kia ora, Josh! A tense weekend ahead between Ireland and NZ. I’m hoping that Ireland can do what seems like the impossible and beat NZ. Bet you wish the opposite! Anyway, thanks for messaging me. I’m delighted that you enjoy my books. A shrewd question about Piso…I didn’t intend to kill him specifically, no, but I did mean to kill either him or Fenestela – and when it came to it, I couldn’t kill Tullus’ righthand man. I assume from you asking that you were upset? (Or maybe not – it’s just that I get quite a lot of upset readers who liked Piso the most.) Best wishes, and here’s to a good game on Saturday! Ben.
