Ben Kane: Cannae, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the Sunday Times bestseller comes a new unputdownable and gripping novel!
216 BC

As Hannibal continues his quest to defeat the Romans, he gathers an army of followers. Hungry for vengeance, hungry for blood, the Carthaginians cross the Alps, gearing to face their enemy - and their fate.

But when the Romans begin a coy game of hide-and-seek, the only place for the two legions to meet is Cannae. Under the toiling heat, the glaring sun, one of greatest battles in history begins to play out. And as the men shed blood and lose will, the Romans and the Carthaginians quickly learn that they must fight until the bitter end, until they have nothing left to lose . . .

Action-packed and pacy, cinematic and rip-roaring, Cannae: The Longest Day is an on-the-edge-of-your-seat thrill. Shifting from the Carthaginians to the Romans, Ben Kane gets you right into the heart of the war, right into the minds of the soldiers, and unravels history right before your eyes.
