Eagle in the Land of Dragons by Peter Goh Pdf

In 36 BC, Li Bi was the Prefect of Zhangye province in Han Dynasty China. He was called out of a comfortable retirement to join a military expedition against his old enemies the Xiongnu as cavalry commander. He would rather stay home in his new villa and enjoy the carnal pleasures with youngest wife Qingling. His past however beckons him and leaves him no choice. There are Romans in the Xiongnu army and perhaps, old comrades. Meanwhile as he prepares his men he writes a book about another war fought right around the world in Belgica. He traces the adventures of a young Centurion named Livy as he fights for Julius Caesar against the Belgae in 57BC. Livy leads Caesars band of mounted scouts armed with composite bows. The war is brutal but Livys life is complicated by the many exotic and seductive women he meets on the campaign trail. Caesar sends him on ever more dangerous missions but Livys understanding of the art of war sees him trough each encounter with the brave and determined enemy. The campaign climaxes at the River Sabis where Bodougnatus, King of the Nervii and 100,000 blood thirsty barbarians set up an elaborate ambush for the unwary Roman Army. Can Caesars vaunted tactical skills save the Roman Army from annihilation? Will Livys vaunted good luck finally run out? Meanwhile Li Bi rides west to face Chanyu Zhizhi, King of the Western Xiongnu with his newly raised cavalry armed with repeating crossbows. How will his Chinese troops fare against crack Roman infantry?

The Eagle and the Dragon by Lewis F. McIntyre Pdf

The Eagle and the Dragon takes the reader on an epic journey of thousands of miles by sea and land across three continents. When Senator Aulus Aemilius Galba is tapped to lead the first Roman mission to China, he anticipates an easy path to fame and fortune. Gaius Lucullus sees a bright military future, but his reluctant centurion Antonius Aristides would rather be somewhere else. Translators Marcia Lucia and her brother Marcus were taken from their village in China to serve the Han court, abused and despised, hiding a horrible secret. A notorious Arab pirate, with a Roman price on his head and crucifixion in his future, shadows the entourage, seeking the wealthy prize of their treasure-laden ships. But Fate has other plans for these unlikely companions, sending them together on a journey that will take them thousands of miles by sea and land across the tapestry of the mysterious worlds at the close of the first century. From the storm-tossed Indian Ocean to the opulent Hanaean court, from the wild grassy steppes north of China to the forbidding peaks of the Pamir Mountains of Bactria, they fight for their lives, hoping to find the road that will lead them back to Rome.

Eagle Dragon by D. B. Richard Pdf

The Talismans of the Kings of Romez is a multi-book series that chronicles mysterious events that begin to unfold on Romez, entangling each of the kingdoms in difficulties that lead them towards an uncertain destiny. These begin with the sudden unsealing of ancestral talismans, leading to the intervention of specific characters who cause the ensuing events. The series includes several volumes, each of which explain the events occurring in one or more kingdoms. These events are recorded by the Great Soul of Antelam, the ancient historian and scholar of Romez, who has been recording its events since the world's formation. He lives beneath the surface, unseen by any of the planet's inhabitants. The first volume of this exciting series, The Eagle Dragons, documents events that unfold in Santilan and Enestera. The story begins in Santilan, where greedy Quadera Rodavas, who was appointed caretaker of Castle Black by King Jannes, has recently fled when Helerant captured the Castle. After his failure, Quadera begins looking for a legendary cave, and finally locates it with the help of a friend. He discovers a mother lode of thermal diamonds covering a viable clutch of eggs of the extinct Eagle Dragons, which have been gone for millennia. His avarice, and the determination of other characters in the story to own or sell the precious diamonds and eggs, sends Santilan careening down a perilous path toward an unknown destination. Meanwhile, Enestera is undergoing massive changes. The Enesterans worship the gods of the Jahsar and Velanis Mountains. In the past, a sorcerer they consider their common ancestor, Sholrus, used a magical tool called The Four Mirrors to hide his bodily organs in the Velanis range to protect them from the passage of time. He lived for six hundred years until he was incidentally killed with the magic sword Dragal, and buried on the tallest peak, Mount Velanis. There are a number of effectively magical items in Enestera, for whose possession most of the local kings and princes hatch plots. One of them is Tedora Ardelan, a grandson of Rennes of Riklasta, who paves the way to infiltrate Enestera and launches a search for The Four Mirrors. However, he is caught due to his recklessness, The king of Enestera, the ruthless Rantoram, jails Tedora and sentences him to death…

The Book of Beasts (Excerpt) He happened to be building a Palace when the news came, and he left all the bricks kicking about the floor for Nurse to clear up-but then the news was rather remarkable news. You see, there was a knock at the front door and voices talking downstairs, and Lionel thought it was the man come to see about the gas, which had not been allowed to be lighted since the day when Lionel made a swing by tying his skipping rope to the gas bracket. And then, quite suddenly, Nurse came in and said, ""Master Lionel, dear, they've come to fetch you to go and be King."" Then she made haste to change his smock and to wash his face and hands and brush his hair, and all the time she was doing it Lionel kept wriggling and fidgeting...
