"The Eagle of the Ninth" report

Hi, sorry it has been so long since I posted last. Well, on to the first book report of the blog. The classic book "The Eagle of the Ninth" is about a Roman cohort named Marcus and later a slave named Esca joins in. The basic storyline goes as such: Marcus is at a fort which gets attacked, is wounded, and goes to live with his uncle. After a while, he tries to find the missing Roman Eagle of the Ninth legion. On the way he meets then leaves Guern, who is a hunter. Later he finds the eagle, gets gets hunted by tribesman wanting it back then makes it home. It is an absloutley wonderful book.
