Robert Maddox
The Temple of the Muses (SPQR IV)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 1999
Best of the series to date
SPQR IV is JMR's best offering of Decius Metellus the Younger. Having so often referred to circumstance or snooping imposed periods of exile we finally get to see how well Decuis travels. And the result is as well as Todd's Claudia Seferius and better than Davis' ...
Subaru Legacy & Forester: 2000 through 2006 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manuals)
Robert Maddox
Haynes Manuals, Inc.
, 2007
Its a Chilton...
Pros: This manual can show you how to do just about anything in a fast\easy manner for your Subaru. Used it recently to learn all the tricks for changing headlight bulbs, took me a matter of minutes. Cons: I have a 2000 and didn't like waiting so long for this manual ...
The Catiline Conspiracy (SPQR II)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 2001
SPQR II: The Cataline Conspiracy
Actually I am writing re: SPQR I - V. I have read these of the series to date. First, I must remark about the verisimilitude; all of these volumes are realistic. I have some knowledge of the history of the last century BCE and to date I've found no error. I have ...
SPQR XI: Under Vesuvius (The SPQR Roman Mysteries)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 2008
This is a great mystery series
I've read every book in the entire series and I highly recommend them. They are interesting, entertaining and often make me laugh. This book lives up to the rest. When the next one comes out, I'll be one of the first to order it. Check this series out. You won't ...
SPQR XII: Oracle of the Dead (The SPQR Roman Mysteries)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 2008
Decius Caecilius Metellus, this year's magistrate for cases involving foreigners, is living the good life in southern Italy, happy to be away from Rome, a city suffering war jitters over Caesar's impending actions. He thinks he is merely visiting one of the local sights when he takes a party to visit the Oracle of the Dead, a pre-Roman cult site ...
The Sacrilege (SPQR III)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 1999
Caesar's Spouse and a Suspicious Sacrilege
When I was a young assistant state attorney, a wise old lawyer told me that a prosecutor had to be like Caesar's wife--above suspicion. Good advice, but where did the aphorism come from? "SPQR III" gives a humorous answer to that question, and also gives us a rolicking ...
The Tribune's Curse (SPQR VII)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Griffin
, 2004
Love this series and recommending it to famly/friends.
This is a wonderfully intelligent mystery/history series. As a history buff the detail is accurate and intersting without being a dry rendition of a textbook. The characters are believable and human. I truly enjoy the sardonic humor of the main character and the ...
SPQR X: A Point of Law (The SPQR Roman Mysteries)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 2007
great series!
I am soooo looking forward to SPQR X! I loved all of Roberts' books, they are as good as the Davis' Falco series and WAY better than Saylor's Gordianus the Finder, or the Caesar series by Iggulden. The only serious competition for SPQR would be Simon Scarrow's Macro ...
The King's Gambit (SPQR I)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 1990
First book in a great series.
John Maddox Roberts starts off the SPQR series with a great book. His research is obviously thorough and the fascinating details of everyday Roman life are most interesting. The reader is lead little by little, clue by clue, to the satisfying conclusion. Makes you ...

John H. Haynes

Haynes North America, Inc.
, 2001
Highly recommended
This is the second Haynes manual I've purchased for a Toyota, and I highly recommend it. The best feature is that the instructions are clear and easy to follow, which take most of the guesswork out of performing simple repairs and preventative maintenance on your ...

Hiroshima in History: The Myths of Revisionism
University of Missouri Press
, 2007
Indispensable book
An eye-opening, informative, and well-researched discussion of the issues with excellent suggestions for further reading. A bit pricey, but very much worth the price.
The Princess and the Pirates (SPQR IX)
John Maddox Roberts
St. Martin's Minotaur
, 2006
Another gem from JMR
John Maddox Roberts is the underrated, best writer of the Roman detective mystery genre. Flawless historicity is combined with excellent writing, humor, and interesting characters, who actually develop and mature as the series progresses. The Princess and the Pirates ...
Conan and the Amazon (Conan)
John Maddox Roberts
Tor Fantasy
, 1995
Conan the School Teacher
This is the first Conan adventure I have read where several times I wished Conan would just shut the hell up and fight! Roberts puts him in situations where only he knows the right way to handle, and he endlessly explains why, why, why. I pictured the supporting ...
