Synopsis
It was the brilliance of Scipio that at last defeated Hannibal and saved Rome. This novel is about the life and times of Publius Cornelius Scipio: aristocrat, general, politican, aesthete and philhellene. He went on to crush Philip of Macedon and then King Antiochus the Great.

Review
The character of Scipio is central, admirably done, full of interest. Yet this is also a novel of action ... and Leckie's narrative of action is masterly ... All the battle scenes are terrific. So, indeed, is the novel, even better than HANNIBAL (Allan Massie)
Leckie's Rome is certainly alive and kicking ... a fine achievement, a thoughtful and stylish piece of historical fiction (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
By turns lucid, enlightening and thrilling, this is the historical novel at its best (THE HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY)
Leckie forges a convincingly archaic prose style that guides us through the intricacies of Roman warfare... this is a fully rounded evocation of a legendary figure. (THE TIMES)
