Review: The Sword of Carthage
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 10, 2011
The author shows versatility, with works ranging from dark fantasy, epic science fiction, and historical fiction, such as this book. In this novel, we follow Hamilcar Barca (the father of Hannibal) from a young age until the defeat of Regulus during the (first) Punic Wars. At the end of many chapters are interesting footnotes referring to historical documents. As in many of his other books, the author has a gift to draw the reader into the story.
