Yeah, Arthur D. Howden Smith led an adventurous life, at least early in his career. Around 1907 he spent some time in the Balkans as a journalist, travelling with the resistance movement fighting against the Ottomans. These experiences formed the basis for a book and several articles about this stru...

I've now had the pleasure of reading The Lion of Cairo and I'd echo Annis' review of it, linked above. A great read, full of action and intrigue. I think Annis covers the plot in her review (go read it!) as well as can be without giving too much away, so I won't add anything further on plot, but I w...

My wife and I were at the San Diego Comic Con two weeks ago and went to the Spartacus panel. The good news is that Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) has recovered from his cancer.

Conventions
I just got back from Pulpfest, a 3 day convention devoted to the old pulp magazines. There are a ton of science fiction/fantasy conventions every year, as well as a number devoted to mystery fiction. Are there any conventions devoted primarily or exclusively to historical fiction?

Has anyone read the new Temeraire book? I love the series and just finished the latest one. Sadly, I think she may be losing a little steam on these; this book seemed to drag a bit, and there was a lot of book for how little the plot got advanced.
