The Temple of the Muses by John Maddox Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There's a great deal of running in this book, with Decius Metellus escaping from quite a number of enemies. The setting of the story was in Ancient Egypt's Alexandria, made even more exotic by the author's vivid descriptions.
The plot was okay; I liked the story's details (e.g. description of Alexandria, the dialogues, the characters esp. the Metellii) better. However, there were many many parts which I found exceedingly funny. Decius is turning out to be quite the comic.
The Kindle format of this book, however, was as imperfect as an adolescent's pimply face--there were so many typos. Hope the subsequent books in the series will have better e-book versions.
