title: Eagle in Exile: The Clash of Eagles Trilogy Book II
author:  Alan Smale 
description: <b>Praise for Alan Smale and <i>Eagle in Exile</i></b><br> <b><i>&#160;</i></b><br> &ldquo;In Alan Smale, speculative fiction has been dealt a winning hand. Part historian, part anthropologist, part scientist, Smale is a Renaissance man with a storyteller&rsquo;s gift for letting tireless research inform the narrative without overwhelming it. Smale entertains, educates, and enraptures.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Myke Cole, author of<i> Javelin Rain</i></b><br><br>&ldquo;[<i>Eagle in Exile</i>] has the pace and scope of a Michener or Uris epic. . . . Smale&rsquo;s action scenes slash across page after page, intense and bloody. . . . Grab your dagger and sword, for the battle continues.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b><br><br>&ldquo;Warfare, political conflict, family strife&mdash;these are all presented in an epic scope where any decision or wrong move can forever change society.&rdquo;<b><i>&mdash;Tech Times</i></b><br> <b>&#160;</b><br> &ldquo;Thoroughly believable . . . Marcellinus is a complicated man, a hero we can all get behind.&rdquo;<b><i>&mdash;Historical Novels Review</i></b>
