Description
ROME, 201 BCE. With his conquest of Carthaginian empire, Scipio Africanus has become the most powerful man in Rome. Embracing his newfound political power, Scipio works to engineer a lasting peace for the budding Roman empire. But Scipio's respite is fleeting. New threats emerge from Gaul, Macedonia, Syria, and the Roman Senate.
Scipio Rules is a tale of diplomacy vs. conquest, innovation vs. traditionalism, ruthlessness vs. mercy, and familial loyalty vs. friendship.
Follow Scipio, Laelius, and Amelia as the three childhood friends defend Rome from enemies within and without, building uneasy alliances with Hannibal the Great and King Masinissa of Numidia. Based on events of the Roman Republican era

Scipio Rules is a fun read. And I learned quite a lot in the process, mostly about Scipio, but also plenty of tidbits concerning Carthage, Numibia, and the messy politics of Rome at the time. Prior to reading this book, I didn't even realize that King Phillip V of Macedonia had big ambitions at the time, nor that there was a threat from Syria, nor that the Romans used Numibian horsemen and African elephants in battle. So this book is informative as well as entertaining, which is the definition for good historical fiction in my mind. Be sure to read the author's introduction, as he will tell you up front some things that are inventions of his mind. That way you don't mistake those items as historical, too.
