Sunday Times bestselling author Ben Kane discusses A Land Aflame, his long-awaited return to the struggle between Rome and Carthage.
Join us at Hartmanns Books as Sunday Times bestselling historical novelist Ben Kane discusses A Land Aflame, his long-awaited return to the world of Hannibal.
It is 211 BC. With the Carthaginians defeated in Sicily, Hanno and Aurelia flee for Spain, only to be shipwrecked and captured. Meanwhile, Aurelia’s brother Quintus arrives with the Roman army, serving under Scipio as Rome and Carthage fight for control of the peninsula.
Ben talks about returning to these characters after more than a decade, the real campaign in Spain and the research that helps him bring the ancient world to life. His passion for history has taken him to more than 60 countries and all seven continents, as well as hundreds of miles on foot in Roman military kit.
