Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

David Thorpe’s narration in 'Under the Eagle' is nothing short of exceptional—his deep, resonant voice perfectly conveys the gravity of Roman military life. The pacing is impeccable, capturing the tension and drama of battle sequences without ever feeling rushed. Scarrow's storytelling shines through, painting vivid portraits of Cato and his fellow soldiers as they navigate the harsh wilderness of Germany. However, some battles can feel a bit overly drawn out, which might test even the most patient listener’s attention span. Overall, it's an audiobook that will keep you on the edge of your seat and eager for more.
