Hello,
I'm a new users but long time lover of anything Roman history. I would like to announce a new historical novel set during the events of the Second Punic War now available on Amazon.
Kindle available now. Print in a few days.
Cheers,
It is a time of great crisis and bloodshed as the two greatest powers of the ancient world - Carthage and Rome, which are locked in a deadly struggle for control over the Mediterranean. But for one young Roman soldier named Gaius who once dreamed of glory and honor, finds himself trapped between his duty to the Republic, and his heart, for in Rome is Julia, a childhood friend and the one woman who has given his life meaning. However, the daughter of the wealthy and influential senator, Terentius Varro has promised her to his political rival Lucius Aemilius Paullus, dividing Gaius’ loyalties as war ravages Italy, and as Rome faces one crushing defeat after another from Hannibal’s invading barbarian horde, Gaius stands to lose more than just his love and his life.
Set during the events of the Second Punic War, circa 218 – 201 BC, Swords of Rome is a sweeping military epic set against the backdrop of historic events and figures, fought during one of the ancient world’s greatest conflicts – a war that would see the end of one nation, and the rise of a new world super-power that would forever change the course of western civilization. This is the human story of this war and the people that fought it.
