Darkness over Cannae - die Projektseite
Einige von euch wissen's schon - danke für viele schon gewesene Anregungen, fürs Feedback zur Seite und Header an Fumetto, und tausend Dank für Geburtshilfe an baz - hier ist das Web-Tie-In zu meinem Projekt "Darkness over Cannae".
Ja, ich bin deliriös glücklich. Ja, es ist genau, was ich will. Und ja, ich glaube, es ist richtig gut - genug, um einen gewissen Leserkreis zu erreichen, auch wenn das Thema so vollkommen abwegig und komplett frauenarm ist.

Zitat:
EXCERPT: MAHARBAL
Hasdrubal stared into nothingness; Maharbal could see his thoughts racing as their horses stamped uneasily, foam dripping from their muzzles.
“Don't expose the flank,” Maharbal warned.
“Yes, I will. The flank is in no danger – the crescent formation has seen to that. And I've had a rider from Hannibal. He says he can hold out for another hour, possibly more.”
“He can what?” Maharbal repeated, incredulous. “That's insane, Hasdrubal. There is no bloody way he can hold out that long. It's bordering on a miracle he's even made it this far. We're pushing our luck with every moment – damn it, I've seen it! Attack the Roman flank. That'll mess up his plan, but will prevent a disaster.”
“You have seen it, but he says he can hold the centre. Whom do I believe? Your eyes, or his gut? Your decision. But it better be the right one.”
The two of them stared at each other. Maharbal's jaws were working. He realised that this, if nothing else, was the moment that might secure a victory beyond any of their wildest dreams, or bring about utter defeat. Hannibal didn't have the complete picture, but did he need that to know how close the centre was to breaking? And hadn't he predicted that everything would unfold in exactly this way?
Maharbal spat a curse.
“His gut, damn it,” he whispered. “Because if you believe my eyes, and they prove wrong, he'd probably gouge them out. And if you believe his gut, and that proves wrong, we're all dead anyway.”
