Pedro Imenes pedroimenes3692 — Not only is the ancient heretical sect of Manicheans alive and well, its "cells" have been plotting world domination for centuries. This is the laughable premise behind this would-be thriller set in Italy, Greece, and Serbo-Croatia. Since I've always had a soft spot for Manicheans, it pained me to see them doing all sorts of dastardly stunts in this book, like blowing up churches and blackmailing members of the College of Cardinals. Way to go, Rabb: Pick on the poor old Manicheans who can't defend themselves because they've been extinct for a millennium and a half. It pained me even more to wade through the interminable pages of theology and ancient church history offered as background material. A couple of plot holes bothered me as well. To wit, 1) The protagonist leaps off a moving train to escape the bad guys, then miraculously, still has his luggage in the next scene. 2) A bad guy shows a newspaper ad asking the clueless protagonist to call the good guys. When he does, badman then cuts off the call. Why bother to tell him in the first place? Some of the chase episodes and descriptions of Rome, Athos, and Croatia are done well. But in the last analysis, I don't think the "thrilling" part of it was all that thrilling, and certainly not the hours I spent slogging through all 375 pages hoping it would get better.

Gaute Aase gaute — Love that this book does not apologize for Cleopatra, or reduce her statecraft to nothing more than "feminine wiles." Well done re-telling of a very familiar story.

D Valdez dvezzy — One of my favorite mysteries...a great whodunit.
