Their bond was one of love, trust, courage, compassion that opened Titus's capability to understand the world around him and grow into manhood, while becoming a warrior. Together, they formed a unique friendship in the ancient world that made them a formidable fighting force for Hannibal Barca's army. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChadwell, John:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - John Chadwell is the author of eight other novels, including: \u003ci\u003eWerewolves of New Idria: Holy Warriors, Hunt of the Sea Wolves, Pershing \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e- The Soldiers' General, Major Crime Unit: Operation Casablanca, The \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eKid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eWild\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eBill, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eGhost\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eof\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eU-85, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eLast\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunrise, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLegends\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiar\u003c\/i\u003es.
