CHAPTER III: CARTHAGE
CHAPTER IV: A POPULAR RISING
CHAPTER V: THE CONSPIRACY

A young Carthaginian finds himself thrust into the heart of Hannibal’s great campaign, from the scorching desert camp where men struggle against heat and fatigue to the tense moments before night‑time raids test their resolve. The opening chapters paint vivid scenes of weary soldiers, makeshift shelters, and the whispered camaraderie that keeps hope alive amid the endless sands.
As the story unfolds, the protagonist encounters bustling Carthage, secretive conspiracies, and a daring march across the Alps, all while learning the harsh realities of war and the complex loyalties that bind friends and foes alike. Henty’s narrative blends historical detail with the personal growth of a boy forced to mature quickly, offering listeners a window into the ancient world of strategy, bravery, and the clash of empires.
