I just learned of this author this week and decided to give him a read.  Am I glad I did!!  This alternate history set in Alexandria during the Roman Emperor Nero's time is a masterpiece.  A strong female character with both brains and warrior training combined with the weird gadgets she pulls from obscure corners of the Library make an exciting tale.  Excellent!!  And a fine first book in a series <hint, hint>.There was only one thing I found a little annoying.  The Roman Legion that should have handled the uprising in Egypt, but didn't due to orders from the Senate, kept changing its name between the Tenth and the Twenty-Second Legion.  Either that or there were two different legions.  That confused me!?!  I considered taking a half star off for that.This is the third book by this author I read and I enjoyed them all.  The other two were from his future military series, On Siver Wings and Valkyrie Rising.
