“Here’s a piece of advice for you, my friend: there’s no safer investment than property in Pompeii.”
A surprisingly good action/mystery plot with solid historical references and characters. Overall a fun read - looking forward to reading more by the author.
Favorite Quotes:
“it may be that this mass hurtling through space produces a sound of such volume that it is beyond the capacity of our human ears to detect. The stars out there, for example, might be tinkling like wind chimes, if only we could hear them.”
“Senators might dream of empires; soldiers might concur them; but it was the engineers, the fellows who laid down the roads and dug out the aqueducts, who actually built them, and who gave to Rome her global reach.”
“Civilization was a relentless war that man was doomed to lose eventually.”
