here's a side question?
Where did all the wood for the fires in the camp come from? I have lived in the desert, (not that one). Most things seem to be built with dirt/adobe/mud/rock. Some how I don't have a feel for Roman wooden prefab barracks being dragged through the desert, let alone the hermit communities having thatched roofs or something. However, still it is a fun read.
I actually liked the 9 books by Caroline Lawrence as well, even though they are for kids and don't have military subjects.
I just didn't think the Dan Brownish plot twist was necessary, it could have been done without that connection. We'll see where it leads, but, I won't order the next one from the UK, I'll just wait for it to get published here. (Now if someone wants to send me a present...)
