This is the story of Fabius Petronius Secundus \u2013 Roman legionary and centurion \u2013 and of his general Scipio Aemilianus, and his rise to power: from his first battle against the Macedonians, that seals the fate of Alexander the Great\u2019s successors, to total war in North Africa and the Siege of Carthage.<\/p>\n<p>Scipio\u2019s success brings him admiration and respect, but also attracts greed and jealousy \u2013 for the closest allies can become the bitterest of enemies. And then there is the dark horse, Julia, of the Caesar family \u2013 in love with Scipio but betrothed to his rival Paullus \u2013 who causes a vicious feud.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately for Scipio it will come down to one question: how much is he prepared to sacrifice for his vision of Rome?<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by Total War: Rome II, Destroy Carthage is the first in a series of novels. Not only the tale of one man\u2019s fate, it is also a journey to the core of Roman times, through a world of extraordinary military tactics and political intrigue that Rome\u2019s warriors and citizens used to cheat death.<\/p>\n<p>David Gibbins is the author of seven previous historical adventure novels that have sold over two million copies and are published in twenty-nine languages. He taught archaeology, ancient history and art history as a university lecturer, before turning to writing fiction fulltime.<\/p>\n<p>He is a passionate diver and has led numerous expeditions, some that led to extraordinary discoveries of ten-thousand-year-old artefacts. David divides his time between England and a farm and wilderness tract in Canada where he does most of his writing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
