English Summary/英文概要： BASED ON REAL HISTORICAL EVENTS
A TIME FOR VENGEANCE
AD 9, German frontier: Close to the Rhine, a Roman centurion, Lucius Tullus, prepares to take his soldiers on patrol. On the opposite side of the river, German tribes are resentful of the harsh taxes about to be imposed upon them. Suspicious that there might be unrest, Tullus knows that his men’s survival will be determined not just by their training and discipline, but by his leadership.
A TIME FOR WAR
What neither Tullus nor his commander, Governor Varus, realise is that ranged against them is the charismatic chieftain and trusted ally of Rome, Arminius, who has long been plotting to drive the Romans from the tribal lands east of the Rhine.
A TIME TO DIE
As Varus’ legions prepare to leave their summer encampment, thousands of warriors – directed by Arminius – are massing nearby. Eager to throw off the Roman yoke, the tribesmen prepare a deadly ambush. Only the gods can save the Romans now...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 基于真实的历史事件
复仇时刻
公元9世纪，德国前线：在莱茵河附近，一个罗马百夫长罗修斯•特鲁斯正准备带着他的士兵去巡逻。而在河的对岸，德国军队正对施压在他们身上的苛捐杂税而感到怨恨。战争一触即发，特鲁斯知道罗马一方士兵的存亡不仅寄托于他们的训练和纪律，还要依赖于他的领导。
战争时刻
无论是特鲁斯还是他的长官瓦利斯都意识到极富魅力的首领和值得信赖的友军阿米尼乌斯此刻已经成为了他们的敌人，他们实则已经密谋良久要将罗马人驱逐出莱茵河的东岸。
死亡时刻
正当瓦利斯的军队启程离开他们的夏日营地时，由阿米尼乌斯手下的数千士兵已经集结在附近。由于急于摆脱罗马人的束缚，部落安排了一场致命的伏击。现在只有上帝能够拯救罗马人了。（XAT）

About the Author/作者介绍： “特洛伯格森林之战，又称瓦里安灾难发生在公元9世纪的德国9月。三个罗马军队被当地的部落军队残忍地伏击了。这是罗马历史上遭受的最严重的一次失败，也使得他们再也不敢再发动对德国的斗争。有许多小说描述过这场战争的筹备和争端，其本身和后果其实更令人战栗。我曾两次拜访德国当时发生战争的地方，还有相关的一些博物馆。看到那些仪器、武器、钱币、甚至是士兵的骸骨，不仅燃烧了我的想象，也震动了我的灵魂。
《战中雄鹰》是’雄鹰’三部曲的第一部，描述了瓦里安灾难，虽然这是一部小说作品，但却是基于真实的人物和事件。我希望你也能和我一样沉浸在这个不可思议的故事中。”

FROM BEN KANE ’The battle of the Teutoberg Forest, or Varian Disaster, took place in Germany, in September of AD 9. Three Roman legions were massacred by native tribes in a supremely well executed ambush. The defeat was one of the greatest ever suffered by Rome, and the body blow it delivered was one of the reasons that the Empire never again made a serious attempt to conquer Germany. Planning and writing a series of novels about the lead-up to this conflict, the battle itself and its aftermath has been thrilling. I have twice visited the area of Germany in which the battle took place, and its many museums. Seeing the equipment, weapons, coins and even the bones of legionaries who’d died in battle didn’t just fuel my imagination – it stirred my soul. Eagles at War is the first in my ’Eagles’ trilogy of novels about the Varian disaster, and although it is a work of fiction, it is peopled by historical characters and is based on real events. I hope, like me, you will want to immerse yourself in this incredible story, to remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures, and to stand with Varus’ legionaries during the rain-soaked, muddy, bloody terror of Arminius’ ambush.’ www.benkane.net
