Taylor Calwell's Pillar of Iron is on sale today at amazon. About Cicero. I remember reading it in high school, and loving it. So I got a copy to see if it will hold up to a re-read.

Re: Ebook freebies and deals 2017 edition
Today's deal on Amazon for $1.99: George MacDonald Fraser's The Candlemass Road. I'd snap it up, except I already own it. (The 'road' in the title is border dialect for 'raid'. It's very atmospheric, and loaded with authentic and engaging dialect. A gem!
