The mercenaries who won Carthage's war against Rome have not been paid. They are camped outside the city walls, sixty thousand soldiers from a dozen nations, and they are running out of patience.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the feast held in their honor, a woman appears among them - Salammb�, daughter of the great general Hamilcar, priestess of the goddess Tanit. Her appearance lasts only moments. It is enough. The Libyan warrior Math� has seen her, and nothing that follows - war, siege, slaughter, the destruction of armies - will free him from what that moment has begun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a sacred object at the heart of Carthage's power is stolen, Salammb� must enter the enemy camp to reclaim it.
