KELLI STANLEY discusses and signs
Nox Dormienda - A Long Night for Sleeping
(Five Star, $25.95)
|
"The life of a medicus-healer-in first-century Londinium could be a dreary round of minor complaints and bad weather. Unless, of course, that healer happens to be a half-Roman, half-British doctor to Agricola, the governor of Britannia. Arcturus is more than a healer, of course -- he also solves problems -- in this case, quite a large and labyrinthine problem..." said Library Journal. And Ken Bruen said: "[This book] nigh cost me a night's sleep! A Roman noir ... and with a depth of scholarship that should be off-putting but works beautifully. The language is a sheer treasure ... from classical to sheer class and for a book that is so meticulously researched, it has a wild and wondrous sense of humour. What a series this is going to be! Imagine Ellis Peters re-written by Elmore Leonard and you'll have some notion of this gem of a novel -- and it moves like a gladiator on speed." | |
