I think that the series sags a little around Last Act for Palmyra, but then it picks up again (IMO). I love it and am glad you got to read this one!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-77892043785289924082007-01-17T05:31:00.000+11:002007-01-17T05:31:00.000+11:00Glad you liked Falco!

I'm sure first-century Latin was full of street slang, and it seems entirely reasonable to me to represent it with modern English slang. If Falco talked like a scholar of rhetoric it would be far more phoney.
