A review by gabrielrobartes
The Iron Hand of Mars by Lindsey Davis

4.0

Now this is more like it, though I'm beginning to see Falco as a kind of Classical Roman Zelig...Anyway, the history lesson is well integrated, the romance is (thankfully) toned down a little and the Stygian gloom of the Teutenburg is suitably oppressive. It all gets a little bit Heart of Darkness at times but enjoyably so.
