About this listen

In the First Punic War, the Roman legions defeated and humiliated Carthage, their only serious rival for power in the Mediterranean. Now a brilliant young Carthaginian general, called Hannibal, is out for revenge. Caught up in the maelstrom are two young boys, Hanno, the son of a distinguished soldier and confidant of Hannibal, and Quintus, son of a Roman equestrian and landowner. A disastrous adventure will see Hanno sold into slavery and bought by Quintus's father. Although an unexpected friendship springs up between the two boys - and with Quintus's sister, Aurelia - the fortunes of the two warring empires once again separates them. They find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict and an alliance forged through slavery will be played out to its stunning conclusion in battle.

Fast-paced, engaging, perfect.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The battle scenes - descriptively written and read magnificently with such expression, making you feel like you are there, in the midst of the battle with the soldiers.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend for those who love adventure books mixed with a historic account of Hannibal's attack on Rome. Can't wait to hear/read the others in this series. Amazingly written and read equally well.

Amazing reading draws you in to keep listening

This novel just doesn't have the power to keep me enthralled. As an interstate truck driver it becomes quite boring at times and near put me to sleep. Probably more for Hannibal history buffs.

pretty average.
