Yes, poor old Aulus. While freely admitting that he's a pain in the neck, I think Davis is very cleverly using this to disguise the fact that at bottom he's completely trustworthy. I'm not quite sure if the same can be said of his brother...

I'm glad there's going to be another Falco book, and Alexandria sounds like great fun.

I'm also really glad she isn't doing a book a year any more - I'm convinced that's the reason for a run of rather poor performances before Saturnalia.
