And it was very good, but ends in a cliff-hanger. Luckily I have the third omnibus waiting for me at home.
Meanwhile, on to
Dinosaurs and a Dirigible by David Drake. One from the September Baen Bundle (no longer available as a bundle). A collection of five shorter works.
I've also been reading
The Man Who Counted by Malba Tahan. A delightful set of mathematical problems in an arabic setting.
I liked all the problems except the last, when although the reasoning was right, the outcome was lucky.
But it's well worth a read if you can find a copy. Most enjoyable.
