  <description><![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!!!]]></description>

    <![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!!!]]>

    <body><![CDATA[What I liked most about Hannibal was the tone. It was told in a way you would expect someone of that era would think and feel about things.<br/><br/>Except maybe the lack of whoring on Hannibal's part was a touch unbelievable, but you never know. It worked with the novel, anyway.]]></body>

    <![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.
