I hope, like me, you will want to immerse yourself in this incredible story, to remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures, and to stand with Varus' legionaries during the rain-soaked, muddy, bloody terror of Arminius' ambush.' To find out more about all my books, please go to my website: Kane April, 2015 Eagles at War is the first in my 'Eagles' trilogy of novels about the Varian disaster, and although it is a work of fiction, it is peopled by historical characters and is based on real events.
Seeing the equipment, weapons, coins and even the bones of legionaries who'd died in battle didn't just fuel my imagination - it stirred my soul. I have twice visited the area of Germany in which the battle took place, and its many museums. Planning and writing a series of novels about the lead-up to this conflict, the battle itself and its aftermath has been thrilling. All my books are born from my obsession with Roman history, and this one was no different.
The defeat was one of the greatest ever suffered by Rome, and the body blow it delivered was one of the reasons that the Empire never again made a serious attempt to conquer Germany. Three Roman legions were massacred by native tribes in a supremely well executed ambush. Includes 50+ black-and-white and full-color images.'The battle of the Teutoburg Forest, or Varian Disaster, took place in Germany, in September of AD 9. Titled after Coal Chamber’s 1997 hit, ‘Loco’ describes the arc of a man who was ripped off, let down, and beaten up, but who never quit-and who ultimately achieved his own form of redemption. With his band Coal Chamber, Dez pioneered a whole new sound and visual, touring the world, battling innumerable obstacles and ultimately breaking free to go solo with DevilDriver, the focus of Volume Two of Fafara‘s two-book autobiography plan. In the period of time covered in ‘Loco,’ though, Dez was just Bradley Fafara, a Hollywood club kid who escaped a lifetime wasted (in both senses) on the beach to become one of the 1990’s most vivid rock stars. The California-born and raised everyman is now the singer and leader of the band DevilDriver, artist manager, multiple brand owner, and motivational guru. “‘Loco’ is the first volume of autobiography from Dez Fafara. Dez Fafara (Coal Chamber, DevilDriver) has announced volume one of his autobiography, “Loco: Chaos, Calamity, And Coal Chamber.” The frontman wrote the book with assistance from Joel McIver and it will be available on September 5 via Rare Bird Books.
