The Eagle Series

supski,



got lots of sparetime and feel like reading some books , just finished Simon Scarrows Centurio on 2 days , was quite entertaining yet the german translation was horrible.

its the rest of the The Eagle Series worth the coin ? also any other historic romans that are a must read ?



ty for your time cf.

You should definitely check out Conn Igguldens series about Julius Caesar and Djingis Khan. The Emperor series are great, even if they are not 100% historically correct. I'm currently reading the third book in the Djingis Khan series, it's not as good as the ones about Caesar, but for someone who's into history it's a nice read.

I've read the first eight books of The Eagles series, seven of them in English because the German translation is indeed horrible.
Not my favourite series in any case but still a nice read, in English that is.

Definitely recommendable series in that genre are "The Saxon Stories","The Warlord Chronicles" and "The Sharpe Stories" by Bernard Cornwell.
I'd especially recommend "The Saxon Stories", my all time favourite of historical novels.

A decent German author of historical novels would be Gisbert Haefs although he's kind of a "Schwätzer" at times.

No problem.
I'm always eager to help people interested in reading since that seems to be a thing becoming constantly rarer. Especially in regards to historical novels.
