[quote=""cw gortner""]Well, Sarah Bowers' Needle in the Blood is also a wonderful choice. I just steeped in that book; her use of language is mesmerizing. "Signora da Vinci" is marvelous, too, so if you get a chance, do check it out.

Needle in the Blood really isnt my thing. But now you have me very interested in Maxwells book.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.
