It allows him the freedom to embark upon a dangerous mission to find out what happened to the Ninth Legion which, years before, disappeared in the savage lands of the Picts. Will he find out what happened to the men, led by his father, who never returned? And will he recover the Eagle, the symbol of Roman dominance and power? This junior classic has never been out of print since it was first published over 50 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Chapter 1: Frontier Fort \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Centurion Marcus Flavius Aquila Had Seen Little \u003cbr\u003e1.3 You Have Brought Clear Skies with You \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Chapter 2: Feathers in the Wind \u003cbr\u003e1.5 As He Threaded His Way Among \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Harvest Was Gathered in By the Time \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Chapter 3: Attack \u003cbr\u003e1.8 It Was Full Daylight Before the Next Attack \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Open Up!
