  8. Currently reading Fields of Blood and really enjoying it so far Ben, great book!

  10. Ben, I’m really enjoying getting back into your books a year or two after the Forgotten Legion trilogy.

    Finished “Hannibal: Enemy…” this spring, then “Spartacus: Gladiator” last night.

    I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

    I like your cliff hanger chapter endings that keep the book moving. I also like how you use a Latin term at the beginning of a sentence in italics, then a brief explanation right in the sentence.

    Thanks for the great books!

  11. @brendonlumgair: thanks for your message – I’m glad that you’re getting back into the books. Cheers for taking the time to drop me a line. Best wishes to you – Ben.

  12. It took me no more than a week to read your new book Hannibal: Fields of Blood.

    It was absolutely fantastic! I have read every book that you have published, and I have loved all of them, especially the amazing Forgotten Legion trilogy, a work of magic!

    Can’t wait until Hannibal: Clouds of War!

    Thanks Ben!

  13. @HistoryDan: thanks a lot for your kind words – it’s always great to hear from happy readers. Best wishes to you – Ben.

  14. Just finished reading – Hannibal Fields of Blood, can’t wait for the next episode!!!!

  15. @ITColin: Many thanks for posting, and I’m glad that you enjoyed Fields of Blood. You’ll be pleased to know that the next volume, Clouds of War, comes out in just 5 months – on the 27th February. Best wishes to you – Ben.

  16. Was this the Battle of Iwo Cannae, by any chance?
    Sorry, I know the competition is long over – just couldn’t resist being a smart arse 🙂
    I have “Fields of Blood” on hold at the library – looking forward to it!
