I have just finished the final book in Jack Whyte's eight-book series called A Dream of Eagles (the last two are from the Golden Eagle series). One of the best sets of books I have read.
The series is about the days of the decaying Roman Empire, the legions of Britain struggle to preserve the ancient principles of loyalty and discipline-virtues embodied in the Roman general Caius Britannicus and his friend Publius Varrus, an ex-soldier turned ironsmith. Whyte re-creates the turbulence and uncertainty that marked fifth-century Britain and provides a possible origin for one of the greatest artifacts of Arthurian myth-the legendary sword Excalibur. Strong characters and fastidious attention to detail make this a good choice for most libraries and a sure draw for fans of the Arthurian cycle.
If you have the slightest interest in King Arthur or learning about Britain when it was part of the Roman empire, read these books!
