Hannibal's armies have conquered Rome, and the Romans have lived in exile for over one hundred years. Now they plan to take back their Empire.

"John Maddox Roberts... proves that he's perfectly at home in the urban sprawl of ancient Rome... He does an admirable job of navigating through a difficult and challenging conceit, providing plenty of reflective material for history buffs while constructing an intriguing story line that pays tribute to the ingenuity of the Romans."
-Publisher's Weekly



"The author of THE KING'S GAMBIT and THE CATILINE CONSPIRACY provides a well-researched and vivid alternate history of the rivalry between Rome and Carthage."

-Library Journal

"A fascinating alternate history novel... The Reader is immersed in the culture of Rome."
