Summary
 211 BC: Hannibal's struggle against the Romans in Italy continues, but the Carthaginians have been utterly defeated on Sicily. Fleeing the island to Spain, Hanno and Aurelia are shipwrecked, and taken prisoner by local tribesmen. Unless they escape, a life of slavery and brutal treatment awaits.

Aurelia's brother Quintus is posted with his comrades to Spain, where a new commander - Scipio - has been given the task of defeating the Carthaginian generals who hold sway over most of the peninsula.

Here, on the third front, there will be marches of incredible endurance, epic sieges and huge set piece battles. The very outcome of the war hangs in the balance.

Who will emerge victorious, Rome or Carthage? Only the gods can tell.

Fast paced. Great battles. Emotional and heroic. The characters are lovable. An epic story of courage, sacrifice and comradarie. I cant wait for Bens next book. I have read them all and the Hannibal series might just be the best, though its hard to choose between them.

Another excellent and exciting story from Ben Kane.
