CLASH OF EMPIRES

After 16 years of bloody war, Hannibal Barca is on the verge of defeat. On the plains of Zama, Felix stands in the formidable Roman legions, ready to deliver the decisive blow. Victory will establish Rome as the pre-eminent power in the ancient world. Meanwhile young senator Flaminius is set on becoming one of the Republic's greatest military commanders with his eyes on as-yet-unconquered Macedon and Greece. But in the north of Greece, Philip V of Macedon has his own agenda and is determined to restore his kingdom to its former glory but needs a strong army to help him do it. Young Demetrios dreams of fighting in the Phalanx but is just a poor oarsman. Thirsty, hungry, burnt by the unforgiving Mediterranean sun, dreams are his only sustenance until a chance encounter changes everything. A thrilling novel by the bestselling writer about the Roman invasion of Greece and the heroes of history for fans of Simon Scarrow. 430pp in large softback with useful glossary.
