I enjoyed Gods and Legions, and the march of the 10,000 one, but didn't like his Mithridates novel "The Last King". It makes this super hero/warrior out of Mithridates, very strange, considering that he was such an interesting character. On a different note, I'm currently reading "Warrior Queen" by Adam Gold. Anybody read this before? It's the weirdest historical novel I've read in a long time, includes horrendous historical errors a la the Julius Caesar "Emperor" series for no reason at all (Claudius is only 42 at his death and only 4 years older than Agrippina, etc.) but is surprisingly historically accurate in other aspects. Weird experience.
