Summary: A New Series
Comment:
Marilyn Todd was born in Harrow, Middlesex, but now lives in West Sussex with her husband, one dog and two cats. For the last ten years she has run her own secretarial business from home. It seems a long time since Marilyn Todd's previous book Scorpion Rising was published but is in fact just over a year. That book of course featured the character Claudia. this is a completely new venture for the author.
Although the author's books on the Roman widow, Claudia did not seem to have the same impact on the reading public as say Lindsey Davis or Steven Saylor. I was always eager for the publication of a new one as I enjoy the writing style and wit of the author. This new series seems to be carrying on to the same high standard. I am not sure whether the author had gone as far as she thought she could with the character Claudia, or whether she felt she needed a new character and a new country to freshen things up.
This series is set in Ancient Greece and the synopsis provided by Amazon will give the reader all they need to know about the content of this particular book. Suffice to say that it held my attention from beginning to end and I found it very enjoyable.

Editorial Reviews:
|
A new series set in Ancient Greece - 466 BC. Blackmailed into spying for Spartas hated secret police, High Priestess Ilionas investigations keep turning up the same stories of a one-eyed giant that lives in the hills above Sicily: the legendary Cyclops. But soon Iliona comes to realize that the threat to her country doesnt come from the so-called Cyclops, or even their arch-enemy, Athens; it comes from deep within Sparta itself . . .
