Review: Really good start to another Alt History world

I like alternate history books and this is a great example.The characters are interesting, perhaps a little too smart and decisive, but that is better than reading a book that makes you scream "why are you doing that you idiot" !I really, really, want to see the next book.Hopefully we are looking at the author continuing his theme with another three or four full-sized books.I hope, like the Eric Flint's 1632 Universe, he considers allowing others to create spin-offs:* Ireland with a stable - Romanized England as a trading partner* The Byzantines with  healthy trade partners in both Gaul and England.* Everybody with horse collars !I've read that at this point in time  many draft horses worked with what was almost a noose around their neck - which made using slave manpower appear economical.How about a towpath along the Nile to take barges from Alexandria to the Red Sea for transfer to sailing ships headed to/from  India and China.Then the magic needle the Chinese use for navigation (it always points South) reaches the West !.Keep it coming...
