 | The Silver Eagle (Forgotten Legion Chronicle Series) by Ben Kane
Buy used from: $36.30 Ah, finally it has arrived, the second installment of the trilogy. As with The Forgotten Legion, fine adventure writing (maybe even slightly better than TFL).
You need to have read the first to understand what's going on here. If you have but somehow forgot, reread it. Ben Kane's writing is that good.
