Tom Swan and the Last Spartans #2
Tom Swan and the Last Spartans: Part Two
Fifteenth-century Europe. Tom Swan is not a professional soldier. He's really a merchant and a scholar looking for remnants of Ancient Greece and Rome - temples, graves, pottery, fabulous animals, unicorn horns. But he also has a real talent for ending up in the midst of violence when he didn't mean to. Having used his wits to escape execution, he begins a series of adventures that take him to street duels in Italy, meetings with remarkable men - from Leonardo Da Vinci to Vlad Dracula - and from the intrigues of the War of the Roses to the fall of Constantinople.

Middle of the Road Book
Has the usual spelling errors and typos of many British writers these days, but as a follow on to the previous book, it is sufficient. The plot could be somewhat obscure for most readers. There are some good descriptions and dialogue. The characters are believable.

Tom swan and his adventures
Lots of adventure, history and historical locations mixed into a great story. I have been flying thru all Cameron’s books and will continue to do so.

Great
These books are so much fun. Fast reads and interesting plots in unexplored areas of the renaissance period. Very engaging.
