Two days until The Silver Eagle is released, and I’m delighted to announce that my idea for a new trilogy has been bought by Preface, my publishers. Titled Soldier of Carthage, Legionary and The Final Battle, they will be released in 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively. The trilogy will feature young Roman and Carthaginian protagonists and follow their lives against the dramatic clash between Hannibal and the might of Rome. The Punic wars has always been an area of interest for me, so it gives me particular satisfaction to be planning to write about even one of them.
