Reviews

`'Decades later, I can still hear echoes of The Eagle of the Ninth in my head : the chink of mail, the tired beat of the legionaries' feet.'

'
The Independent
`'These tales of Roman Britain have yet to be surpassed for their non-patronising prose and adult dangers. Sutcliff makes Classics and archaeology uniquely thrilling for children.'
'
Amanda Craig, The Times
`'A beautifully written and exciting tale of a young man's mission to save the reputation of his dead father''
Simon Scarrow, Big Issue
`Great stuff that should not be forgotten!'
Amie Thomson, Big Issue in Scotland
