Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I have virtually all of Jecks' works. I am new to Library Things so am not going to go into great detail except to say that he has given me many hours of reading pleasure and largley give him 5 stars. Although it has been some years since I found one of the later stories, I was, at the time, prompted to find the first in the series, etc. It is grand that both his former publisher and his new publisher (Simon & Schuster UK) are republishing his books in print and other formats. I have given Jecks 5 star reviews over the years since I stumbled on to him. As to his research, historically it is from primary sources wherein he writes plausible tales into the historical setting. no reviews | add a review

Another intriguing puzzle mixed with interesting period detail - particularly with regard to lepers. I couldn't help but think "These people have no idea what is heading their way in 25 years." ( )
