The Brood at Trasimene (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473525910)

Midsummer 217 BC and the 'She Wolf's' den is aflame. Having destroyed the Roman legions at the Trebbia River, Hannibal leads his men south seeking battle with the new Consuls elect, Gaius Flaminius and Gnaeus Servilius Geminus. Having outmaneuvered Flaminius the Carthaginians devastate the Etruria plain and slaughter the populace in an attempt to bring him to battle. Flaminius, though enraged at the despoliation and killing is cautious of Carthaginian trickery and remains impotent within the city of Arretium. However, as Hannibal turns towards the southeast and fertile Apulia, Flaminius finally mobilises his legions and begins the chase, Hannibal leading him on towards Lake Trasimene.Baldor Targa, now promoted to Captain by Hannibal, is beset with troubles as an old enemy and a powerful new one appear within his own ranks and add murder and robbery to his woes. Meanwhile, he and the Roman Centurion, Cornelius Scipio are destined to meet again on the field of battle as the Gods continue their perverse game of cat and mouse between the pair. Battle, blood feud, vengeance and foolish pride combine to test both Baldor and Cornelius's resolve as they play their part in this war of giants.
