An evening with Ben Kane

Ben Kane is the best selling author of more than twenty historical adventure novels. Join us as Ben presents an exciting talk about the fourth book in the Hannibal series, A Land Aflame.

211 BC: Hannibal’s struggle against the Romans in Italy continues, but the Carthaginians have been utterly defeated on Sicily. Fleeing the island to Spain, Hanno and Aurelia are shipwrecked, and taken prisoner by local tribesmen. Unless they escape, a life of slavery and brutal treatment awaits.

Aurelia’s brother Quintus is posted with his comrades to Spain, where a new commander – Scipio – has been given the task of defeating the Carthaginian generals who hold sway over most of the peninsula.

The very outcome of the war hangs in the balance.

Who will emerge victorious, Rome or Carthage? Only the gods can tell.
