Toss Out Reality!

That is the way to approach this book; anything which mixes, aliens, sasquatch and ancient Rome has to be fantasy--but you won't regret having done so. I first came across this book after reading 'Light On The Sound', the first Inquestor book, and was hooked on his style and world-building from the outset. His use of language is poetic, rich and dense, and yet enhances the plot rather than hinders its movement. The three books of this series are all good, fun and amusing...it is a change to actually laugh in the middle of a sci-fi/fantasy book when you suddenly 'get' the concealed joke. If you love ancient Rome as I do, and yet want some fun too, then read this series at once!
