John Maddox Roberts: Hannibal's Children |
From the Publisher: 100 B.C. For one hundred and fifty years, the Romans in exile have channeled the rage of defeat into the pursuit of perfect military discipline. Now a small but resourceful army has been strengthened - by time, by training, and by unexpected military applications of the brilliant innovations of Archimedes the Greek - into a ferocious war machine. From the rich Carthaginian colonies in Egypt, to the walled shores of Carthage itself, they have one eye on revenge and the other on conquest. In the ultimate battle for supremacy, Rome will never be found second best. John Maddox Roberts: Hannibal's Children. A Novel of Alternate History. Ace Books, ISBN: 0441010385 (March, 2003), 368 p., $6.99.
