Sacramento, United States – April 26, 2018 /PressCable/ —

“Hannibal’s Niece: A Tale of Love, Murder and Deceit in Ancient Rome” is a captivating story about the power of desire to drive men and women to defy society’s norms in search of love. Set against the backdrop of early Rome and the battlefields of Spain and Africa, Anthony R. Licata skillfully narrates a complex and deeply emotional storyline with rich and fascinating historical detail. Published in May 2017, “Hannibal’s Niece” is Licata’s debut novel, and was awarded the 2017 Defining Karma Grant for Literature. (www.definingkarma.com)

“Hannibal’s Niece is a moving story of blood and war and love told with a skillful hand. The history is mixed with story taken from sources; the book is filled with maps and battle plans, while the writing is fascinating and draws the reader in. History books sometimes have a reputation for being dry and somewhat boring. Hannibal’s Niece is anything but, with a voice that keeps the reader hooked from page to page,” says Alex C. Telander from the San Francisco Book Review. Read the full review HERE.

“A deftly crafted and narrative driven novel, Hannibal’s Niece clearly reveals author Anthony ‘Tony’ Licata’s genuine flair for engaging his readers full and rapt attention from cover to cover. This is the stuff of which block-buster movies are made,” says the Midwest Book Review.

Manhattan Book Review reviewer Meghna Hulsure wrote of Hannibal’s Niece, “…this book is a smashing hit. It captivates you and also makes you think about the characters, the righteousness of their actions, and the end of the story. I really wish to read more of Licata’s work in the future.” Read the full review HERE.

The dialogues, the imagery and the sheer perfection of the development had me hooked. Interesting, well written and brilliant.” Read the entire review HERE.

Tony Licata says about his book, “Readers will probably notice a number of parallels between Ancient Rome and our situations in modern-day America. I hope the powerful themes of Hannibal’s Niece will resonate with contemporary readers on many levels.”
