Las Legiones Malditas / The Cursed Legions

Publius Cornelius Scipio, known by the nickname Africanus, who was considered by many to inherit the military qualities attributed to his father and uncle, was only twenty-six years old when he agreed to command the Roman troops in Hispania. Yet he received from them not only these magnificent attributes, but also some enemies, among others Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother, and the Punic general Giscâon, who would do everything possible to destroy his enemy and slaughter his armies. In a fascinating story that recreates a decisive moment in the expansion of Rome, Santiago Posteguillo makes the reader an accomplice and witness to the battles, conquests and defeats of Scipio and his armies.
