Book description
ENEMY OF ROME
The great Carthaginian general, Hannibal, has never forgotten the
defeat and humiliation of his father by Rome. Now he plans his revenge
and the destruction of the old enemy.
SOLDIER OF CARTHAGE
While Hannibal prepares for war, the young son of one of his most
trusted military commanders goes on an innocent adventure with his
best friend - and disappears.
SLAVERY
Captured by pirates, put up for sale in the slave market, one of the
boys is sold as a gladiator, the other as a field slave. They believe
they will never see home or family again.
A WORLD AFLAME
But their destiny - interwoven and linked with that of their Roman
masters - is to be an extraordinary one. The devastating war unleashed
upon Rome by Hannibal will last for nearly twenty years. It will
change their lives - and history - forever.
