    <![CDATA[Ride on the historic charge across the Alps and into battle against the Romans in Ross Leckie's debut novel <em>Hannibal</em>, an exuberant account of the life, love, and inner torment of the great Carthaginian general sworn to bringing defeat to the Romans.  The novel begins with a scarred and defeated Hannibal, who recounts how he came from the shores of North Africa to the heart of the Italian peninsula. Leckie's book brings Hannibal to life through a realistic psychological profile and a well-researched account of the ancient general's life and military exploits.  Leckie excels at describing Hannibal's tactics and the brilliance of his strategy, while rounding out the story with insights into Hannibal's family and marital life. Strap on the battle armor and mount your pachyderms--charge!!!]]>

    <![CDATA[Set in the second century B.C. Carthage recounts, after three hundred years of acrimony and two bitter wars, the final, fateful clash between the two superpowers of the ancient world--Rome and Carthage. Completing Leckie's superb trilogy, Carthage tells the final chapter of the great Punic wars, the deadly rivalry between the bastard sons of Hannibal and Scipio, and the total destruction of the Carthaginian empire. The breadth of Leckie's knowledge of the period coupled with his poetic prose style brings the classical world to life in a truly masterful manner.]]>
