<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When Germanic troops in the service of the Empire begin to rebel, and a Roman general disappears, Emperor Vespasian turns to the one man he can trust: Marcus Didius Falco, a private informer whose rates are low enough that even the stingy Vespasian is willing to pay them. <p/>To Falco, an undercover tour of Germania is an assignment from Hades. On a journey that only a stoic could survive, Falco meets with disarray, torture, and murder. His one hope: in the northern forest lives a powerful Druid priestess who perhaps can be persuaded to cease her anti-Rome activities and work for peace. Which Falco is eagerly hoping for as, back in Rome, the Titus Caesar is busy trying to make time with Helena Justina, a senator's daughter and Falco's girlfriend. <p/>Lindsey Davis' historical mystery <i>Iron Hand of Mars is a </i>Seamless blending of humor, history and adventure (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Seamless blending of humor, history and adventure." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Falco's never-ending wise cracks, humorous self-abasement, and genuine niceness are more than enough to captivate readers; the rich historical details add a caloric layer of frosting." --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Lindsey Davis</b> was born and raised in Birmingham, England.
