Now, from the author of the highly-acclaimed novel Hannibal (a History Book Club Selection), comes the second installment in an epic trilogy on the rise of Carthage and the rise of Rome.
Published 11 years after the author's death, this classic of utopian fiction tells the story of American consul John Lang.
To blacken his name further, rumours about his black diaries claimed that he was a practising homosexual. The author Brian Inglis was allowed access to the relevant files at the Public Record Office in order to help research this biography.
