Another Captain Daniel Leary—Officer Adele Mundy Adventure.

The point that particularly interested me was that the Roman Senate reacted by sending an embassy to Carthage, demanding that the Carthaginians withdraw their citizen under terms of the peace treaty. This makes perfect legal sense, though appears absurd in any practical fashion. Livy’s account got me thinking about the problems that the envoys would have had. The Romans were going to Carthage with demands which weren’t going to be greeted by their listeners with any enthusiasm. They had it easier, however, than the Carthaginians who were presumably tasked to proceed to the chaos in Northern Italy and corral Hamilcar. Whatever the Carthaginian people thought of the situation, they were in no position in 200 bc to blow off a Roman ultimatum. There’s no record of the Carthaginian response, but I believe they made at least some attempt to comply. Otherwise there would be more in the record. I decided that I could find a story in that. This is the story I found. Dave Drake david-drake.com

Wow it's been a month?

Well posting this from my android tablet. It's a Flytouch 2. Ok but I think I'd like the Nook Tablet better.

Perfer that to Kindle Fire due to Screen Size and should be easiser to hack.

Perfectly Invisible

What if the 93 attack brought down the towers? According to Michael A. Stackpole a lot deeper in to a police state. a good murder mystery/police procedural in a world creepily not quite our own.

This is book 8 of probably 10. Not a good place to start. Seems pretty slow with a lot of cutting to different people in different places over the same time I'm 1/6 into the book and it's still the same day. The series starts out really strong and worth reading.

Odyssey One

Giving it a try. Supposed to be good story with bad editing. As old publishing dies out editing suffers. Authors need to flat rate hire an editor. I'd pay an extra buck for that.
