Eagle in the Snow

Rating:
Summary: Historical Fiction at it's Finest
Review: Wallace Breem, from start to finish of this book, has it right. Long have I searched for a historical fiction that combines depth of description with a fine story. Other writers who have taken on the end of the Roman empire who shall remain nameless (**ahem-Jack Whyte!!) fall short in accuracy, despite the bombast with which they 'educate' in their books' historical notes. The mood of the era is beautifully colored in pastels of winter and decay. Eagle in the Snow is a difficult book to get your hands on, but is of immense enjoyment to serious fans of history and historical fiction. Breem stands tall amongst the likes of McCullough, Pressfield and Cornwell.
