3.0 out of 5 stars A good read, with a bit of history + philosophy thrown in., 3 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eagle's Brood (The Camulod Chronicles) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is set in the era after the Romans had departed from British shores. Left without any governing force, or defence system Britain had become a land open to invasion from abroad and of internal strife between the warlords/kings of different areas.
The main character is Merlyn, whose family descend from the Roman military and whose cousin is Uther Pendragon. Merlyn follows in his father's footsteps to become a main force in the affairs of a colony called Camulod in the South of England.
The book is one of a series which sets out to give an historical backdrop to the tale of King Arthur and Merlyn.
I'm not sure that I personally can accept that the figure of Merlyn portrayed in the book bears any relation to the Merlyn of legend. However, this doesn't prevent it from being a good story.
On the whole I enjoyed the book and learned much that I didn't know. Further it has awakened in me an interest in that era of history, which held no interest for me before.
The only downside, I think, is the amount of killing portrayed. Though this is no doubt realistic it does rather remind one of the utter futility of life...a point taken up to some degree later, when Lucanus dies in "The Fort at the Rivers Bend".
My compliments to the author for his painstakingly detailed account. Good value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars See Arthur and his world through Roman eyes, 17 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eagle's Brood (The Camulod Chronicles) (Mass Market Paperback)
Jack Whyte makes a perfect Arthurian legend, for as far as I know the only one which shows his world through the eyes of a Roman. Perfectly storytelling, great plotting. Loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third in the Camulod Series, 19 Dec 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Dream of Eagles: Eagles Brood (Paperback)

Jack Whyte was born and raised in Scotland, but has lived in Canada for the last forty odd years. He is the author of the Camulod series of books and has just had published the first in a trilogy about probably the most famous Order of knights, ever to come through the pages of history, the Knights Templar.

This is the third volume in the continuation of the Camulod Chronicles a series of novels about the Arthurian legends. But anyone expecting the conventional,or Hollywood slant on the legend of Arthur, i.e. knights riding around on destriers in full body armour, something invented several hundred years after Arthur had gone to his grave, if he ever existed at all, will be in for a sharp shock.

The books are set in the 5th century AD a much more likely time for Arthur to have existed, a time when Britain, although free of the Romans, who had gone back across the channel to Rome, was still very much influenced by the occupation. Caius Merlyn Britannicus is now leader of the colony, responsible not only for law and order but also the safety of all within its confines. Uther Pendragon is a warrior attached to the colony. Both men are on friendly terms, that is until there is an event that drives a wedge between the two men . . .

If you have read the first two books, you cannot help but want to read this one. If you have not read or cannot get the first two books, this books is a fine novel on its own merits.

Good book, but as with rest of series, characters have a plastic, comic-book superhero machismo about them that comes across as...well, comic-book-like. Read more
