I love history, especially the ancients. Sword of Carthage throws the reader right in the middle of ancient Carthage. It was a rich empire cornering the Mediterranean trade and exploiting all the goods the lands had to offer. However a new power threatened ... everything. What a great book full of so much history with just as much author's interpretation and fiction.

Another plus is the annotations at the end of each chapter giving the reader a bit more from historical texts and writers.

There is always a but though...

Numerous spelling errors and grammatical errors plague the story. It was a good enough story that it was easy to overlook them but they are there.

Four stars nonetheless. Easy to read, full of action and drama and loads of facts perfectly intertwined into the story. I look forward to reading more of Vaughn Heppner.
