History with a heart, June 19, 2006
This review is from: Forged By Lightning: A Novel of Hannibal and Scipio (Paperback)
This novel is truly a pleasure to read, I read it cover to cover in an afternoon,I was never a true history fan, but gave it a chance. I must say, it read so much like a good novel that I had to do some research to make sure it wasn't all fiction. Yet it is certainly very historically accurate and the way she draws the characters is very endearing to the reader. I definitely recommend this book to historians and readers of fiction.

Hannibal takes on Rome, June 11, 2009
This review is from: Forged By Lightning: A Novel of Hannibal and Scipio (Paperback)
Angela Render's "Forged by Lightning" transports the reader back in time to around 200 BC. The flowing narrative weaves together military campaigns and a love story as Carthage's Hannibal takes on the Roman legions. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and completed its roughly 400 pages in two sittings.
