Reviews
" Historical fiction writer Durham successfully turns to epic fantasy in a series opener that combines the moral ambiguity and brutality of George R.R. Martin' s "Song of Ice and Fire" with Guy Gavriel Kay' s emotional sweep and Ursula K. Le Guin' s ethnic diversity." -- "Library Journal" Praise for "Pride of Carthage" " Durham vividly captures the frenzy of ancient warfare-- battle-maddened pachyderms, hails of javelins and arrows, ordered ranks of Roman light infantry crumbling before Hannibal's mercenary army of ''copper-skinned'' Libyans, tattooed and dreadlocked Numidians and blond, blood-drinking Gauls. 'The world is cruel, ' Durham's Hannibal proclaims, and it is." -- "The New York Times" " "" Stunning... Durham [is a] master of persuasion and imagination. A brilliant exploration of the tension between private destiny and historical force." -- "Christian Science Monitor " " Masterly... Durham has delivered some of the best battle scenes on the page since Michael Shaara' s Civil War fiction." -- "San Francisco Chronicle" " Durham leaps continents and centuries to tell the epic story of Hannibal and his march on Rome in this heady, richly textured novel. . . . The novel' s grand sweep is balanced by intimate portraits of Hannibal, his family, his allies and his enemies." -- "Publishers Weekly" (starred review)" Treachery in the throne room, princes in hiding, ancestors reaching from beyond the grave, wars of succession-- this is a novel that Shakespeare would have loved. David AnthonyDurham is rebuilding epic fantasy from the ground up. There are books that you visit for a vacation, and then there are books that you live in. Get ready to have your mail forwarded to Acacia." -- James Patrick Kelly, Hugo Award winner, "Historical fiction writer Durham successfully turns to epic fantasy in a series opener that combines the moral ambiguity and brutality of George R.R.
