Frustrating. GreyhoundLover | Aug 12, 2008 | My second in the Falco series - although there are some convenient plot holes and deux machina, I love this series. Given the paucity of actual depictions of underground/on the ground Roman life, these books bring that world to life. As far as I can tell, the historial accuracy and scholarship are high.
