Instead we get his pet virus anthropomorphic speculation (it doesn't CARE.. they are bacteria), and you would think he'd understand that the virii vs. illness caused are different. If you wanted to write about the Napoleonic Wars, and wax all poetic about the soldiers and etc.. you could have. Typhus as a plot device, w/o knowing wtf you are on about is unhelpful. Pls see Bubonic Plague books for how-to do this.

Somewhere in Ch 6.. Ok.. The author needs to take a beat and go write a HF novel (maybe a romance?) about Roder, and possibly a few other the other overly well described soldiers. This goes way off into tangents, completely irrelevant to the actual supposed topic. I came here for the Typhus and how it took down the Grand Armee.. more in next comment

The premise is good, but apparently the author feels the need to go into vast detail about military battle tactics for different battles. I can understand explaining conditions.. but tactics? The narrator is good.

Excellent advice! “To stay alive in ancient Rome, you should operate the way you would if you suddenly discovered all of your friends were in the Mafia.” Enjoying this way too much..

After responding to a friend request, I decided to pick up these books (Paper Targets too). These look very interesting, and I am looking forward to reading them between the holidays.

“yummy mummy’s of Park Avenue”. Hmm? Isn’t that term Brit and used in London, not NYC?

So far so good! Picked this up the other evening when Ms. Bowen was at a local bookshop giving a talk. She's delightful.
