The Eagles Depart by John Gloag is a historical novel set in the late Roman period (337–420 CE), framed as the autobiography of a Brittano-Roman soldier whose life spans the withdrawal of Roman power from Britain. Blending military history, personal drama, and the twilight of Roman rule, the book explores identity, loyalty, and survival at the edge of empire.
