Third volume of the acclaimed «Hannibal» saga. Ben Kane presents us with an exciting story that revolves around the mythical hero who gives the work its title. 213 B.C. Syracuse. Under the scorching Sicilian sun, the city is at war. Stationed before its walls, a huge Roman army awaits. But the city's impressive defenses, designed by Archimedes, tell them that Syracuse will not be taken easily. A war veteran, Quintus, is willing to give his life in the service of the Republic. But he faces dangers arising both from among his own comrades and from the ranks of the adversary, among whom is his old friend, the Carthaginian Hanno. Hanno has been sent by General Hannibal to help Syracuse in its fight against Rome. He has sworn to kill all Romans, but when he discovers that Quintus' sister, Aurelia, is captive in the city, his oath will be compromised. Two enemy factions from the most powerful armies of antiquity are about to meet in one of the most brutal sieges of all time. And when that happens, the conflict will be bloody and merciless. Reviews: «A story that reads compulsively, vividly narrated and with very vigorous prose.» «Highly recommended.» «Ben Kane is the rising star of current historical fiction.» |
