Simon Scarrow

Creator of the Eagle series of historical novels, set in Roman Britain...

Simon Scarrow worked for many years as a college lecturer. His lifelong fascination with history was fuelled by the historical fiction of Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O' Brian and C. S. Forester. Now, he tells the story of his greatest heroes. Simon is the author of two highly acclaimed series. The Eagle series features two centurions of the Roman armies in Europe in the first century AD and the Revolution series focuses on two giants of European history, Napoleon and Wellington.
