In this, the sequel to his internationally acclaimed and best-selling historical novel HANNIBAL, Ross Leckie tells the epic story of Scipio Africanus. Spanning six decades and three continents, SCIPIO is a riveting fictional memoir that charts the life of one of the great Roman leaders. Scipio's defeat of Hannibal at the battle of Zama was a pivotal victory which paved the way for Roman expansion. His subsequent destruction of Antiochus at Magnesia and Philip V at Cynoscephalae helped to establish Rome's dominance of the world as they then knew it. Despite all this Scipio remained a flawed character; a man whose blindness to his own weaknesses ultimately brought about his own downfall. Leckie brilliantly evokes the period in this superb historical novel. The result is a gripping and moving tragedy, an account of one man's successes and failings, filtered through the eyes of his compassionate, wise and loyal friend.

Etat : Como nuevo. : En la secuela de su novela histórica Hannibal, Ross Leckie nos cuenta la épica historia de Escipión Africano. Abarcando seis décadas y tres continentes, Scipio The Man Who Defeated Hannibal es una fascinante memoria ficticia que narra la vida del gran líder romano. Mientras Escipión espera el veredicto sobre los cargos de destitución, dicta su historia a su secretario Bostar. Lo que se desarrolla es una fascinante narración dual que yuxtapone los recuerdos de Escipión con la propia versión de Bostar de lo que ocurrió. Ambas vidas parecen inextricablemente ligadas a la vida de Aníbal Barca. Escipión relata cómo ha llegado a este punto: un líder caído, enfrentándose a la ejecución por el estado al que ha servido, el imperio que ha creado.
