Gratuitous violence is piled on in a way that quickly becomes tedious. It is almost as if he tried to produce a piece of rabid anti Hannibal propaganda - except that everyone in this novel is deeply unpleasant - Romans included. You might expect that with such an interest in violence, his descriptions of battles would be excellent.

Stunning, stylish and extremely well written. Leckie paints a vivid picture of the man behind Scipio (Africanus) and his story of how he saved Rome from Hannibal. The first book in the trilogy, Hannibal, is equally well written and weaves the tale of Hannibal's rise to power and his hatred of Rome.

Most interesting story of a remarkable man, with great persistence in planning and a lot of guts. He deserved better. Typical of petty trading politics as displayed by European colonisers all over the world.
