"After the third week of a one-week cruise, the sea had lost its sparkle."And so begins the second Eno book by C. B. Pratt, The Stone Gods.Eno's marketing plan is simple. His sign is in a well-traveled acropolis: "Hero for Hire. All monsters dispatched from carnivorous geese to Minotaurs. Special rates for multiples. Eno the Thracian at the sign of the Ram's Head, one flight up."While he's the "defender of Aphrodite, destroyer of incredible monsters, and three time all-Athenian winner of the `Spicy Snails' cooking contest", Eno is on hiatus. He's on the way to visit his mother and ask her some difficult questions. Even a brimming chest of gold and jewels can't sway him from his filial mission. But a lovely, naked, liquid-eyed Egyptian nymph in his tent may be a different story.Eno's second adventure is as fun and exciting as the first one. The series would make an excellent movie or a great television series.
