Scipio Summary

Scipio by Ross Leckie

Yes, we have achieved much. Have we destroyed even more?

In the name of Rome, Scipio Africanus systematically destroyed the hard-won empires of Hannibal and Alexander the Great. With breathtaking battle scenes and a tale of violent passions, Scipio is a stunning sequel to Hannibal, Ross Leckie's acclaimed bestselling historical novel. This inspired narrative reveals the aristocrat, general, politician, and aesthete behind the Roman triumph to bring us a novel of love and betrayal, about a genius who discovers he is only a man.

Scipio Reviews

Masterful...even better than Hannibal. -- Allan Massie
Leckie brings the battle-tactics and manoeuvres almost cinematically alive and the sense of blood and sweat, chaos and horror linger powerfully on . . . utterly gripping. * * Scotsman * *
A fine achievement, a thoughtful and stylish piece of historical fiction. * * Daily Telegraph * *
Brightly evocative . . . it is an erudite and immensely human story of fate, family and friendship from within a warped civilisation to which, like it or not, we owe much today. * * The List * *
By turns lucid, enlightening and thrilling, this is the historical novel at its best. * * The Historical Novel Society * *
