The third century BCE: One man will bring an empire to its knees.
The wars between Rome and Carthage will see some of the most bloody and savage battles of all time. Hundreds of thousands will die, and Rome will win mastery of the known world.

Amid this, a figure will emerge who has become the stuff of myth and legend: Hannibal Barca.

In this breathtaking chronicle of love and hate, heroism and cruelty, one of history’s greatest generals returns to life. Hannibal learns, through suffering, that man is but a shadow of a dream.

A scintillating, blood-soaked tale of loss and victory, this is a masterful piece of historical fiction, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden and Ian Ross.

Hannibal

The thrilling story of the greatest general in Roman history.
In the name of Rome, Scipio Africanus conquered the hard-won empires of Carthage and of Alexander the Great.

Now beset in his old age by the menacing political movements of Cato, Scipio details the epic story of his life, from the earliest days of his education, to the great battles he won in service to his home.

Yet all the strands of his remarkable tale are anchored, flowing from and towards the confrontation between him and his great rival, his one and only equal… Hannibal.

This novel of love and betrayal recreates the life and times of a military genius who discovers he is only a man, and is perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and I, Claudius.
