Like old friends

Revisado: 11-30-23

I am a lover of Historical Fiction. And as such I have binged listened to the whole series, twice. That should say something in itself. I treat the captain and the doctor like old friends and am going to miss their adventures when this is finally finished. There was nothing I didn’t like- unless it is their end, and I’m not there yet, I hope.

Never thought being bad can feel so good

Revisado: 02-18-23

There is a place where most good people never want to go…to dispatch thoroughly evil things to their just deserts and not feel dirty doing so, This set of stories is a guilty pleasure.

Great story, but too short!

Revisado: 02-04-23

Annoyed the heck out of me when it was over in the middle of the story.

Beyond the second century AD, a story not unlike the politics of today- just in Togas

Revisado: 01-20-23

I’ve been enjoying myself with this series. Am annoyed that I might be at the end, even though it was nicely sewn up at the end. This is not a stand alone book and even the history buff patricians would enjoy it for it’s well executed story arc.

Makes history even more interesting

Revisado: 11-22-22

I never thought I would enjoy 200 years after Caesar as much as I have this offering from the author who gave me a good idea of how Roman legions actually worked. The politics after Marcus Aurelius were just as mean spirited, convoluted and downright nasty as we have even now we haven’t learned anything from History.

Through the eyes of the legions Caesar was not all that great.

This series has given me a new understanding of the workings of Ancient Rome through the eyes of the legions. A welcome respite from the miserable politics.

Good to come back to.

I almost wish I had read this book before Dragonflight. It fleshed out a good deal of the story, and at the end dealing with Lessa and Fax,
It seemed to be a almost word for word rendition of the beginning of Dragonflight. I only said that because I have been going through the whole series. A good read and well done for performance. Could have been a Master at Harper Hall.

Even better now

Revisado: 06-06-16

I read this book many years ago when it first came out in print. It was good then, but even better now. The realities of space station life, exoplanet life, the inevitable politics of us versus them at the height of the Cold War here, makes this story one for the ages. I think this might have been the first offering by Ms Cherryh. She never fails to amaze or draw us into the fray.

Another page turner from deepest, darkest, Chicago!

Revisado: 03-11-16

Harry Dresden is back with a vengeance accruing more awesome powers , having more influential friends, and gaining more devious enemies.

Harry is as conflicted as ever still not sure of his place in the supernatural world but he's getting smarter.

This is my third time reading this book actually listening from Mr. Marsters dramatization (and he does a damn good job ) and it seems that the Wizard is leading up to a Apochalyptical battle royal in the same scope as Tolkien or even Butcher's Codex Alera. It is a Classic in the making- if only Harry would stop quoting Star Wars!
