About the author

Martin Tessmer spent thirty-five years as a design and training expert for universities and the military. In the late 1990s, he went on hiatus from the academic world to work as an outdoor writer, publishing several wilderness books and writing for numerous outdoor magazines.

Martin returned to academia in 2000, heading up an online training development center for the University of Colorado system. He retired in 2010, and went on to work with the U.S. Navy on designing fighter pilot training programs. He is now semi-retired, devoting himself to historical novels. His recent research on the Punic Wars has taken him to London, Rome, Ostia, and Barcelona.

In addition to his six-book Scipio Africanus series, Martin has just released The Noble Brute, the first historical novel about Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus.
