A swimmer stood little chance of outrunning a pair of personal watercraft with a top speed of thirty miles per hour.

"The Mississippi," Pitt muttered. "That's Baton Rouge to the north across the river. The end of the line. Why dig a canal to this particular spot?"

A minute later, the handheld radio on his belt chirped with two static transmissions. "That's him. Let's move." They arose and put on light backpacks.

Surveying the hillside, Giordino suddenly felt his jaw drop. It wasn't a mound of rock at all, he realized with astonishment.

| 24756c8 | True to a unique tradition of Rome, all the nearby walls had been slathered with that unique institution of the Latin race: graffiti. Daubed in paint of every color were slogans such as Death to the aristocrats! and The shade of Tribune Ateius calls out for blood! and May the curse of Ateius fall on Crassus and all his friends! All of this was scrawled wretchedly and spelled worse. Rome has an extremely high rate of literacy, mostly so that.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| 90bb8c9 | I tipped young Hylas with a sesterce and turned away discreetly while he disposed of it somewhere about his person. Slaves, especially small ones, must resort to certain subterfuges in order to prevent larger slaves from acquiring their wealth, and it is often inadvisable to wonder too much about where our money has been. | John Maddox Roberts | ||

But I can't tell any of that because I don't know. This story ends now, four days after the death of Hoyt Parker and Griffin Scope. It is late. Very late.

| 7284581 | ROME AWOKE TO THE GREAT, collective hangover of the day after Saturnalia. All over the city hundreds of thousands of bleary eyes opened, the merciless light of morning pierced through them, and a vast groan ascended unto Olympus.

The very name refers to the heavy timbers of which it was once built, but the present bridge is of stone. For many generations it was the only bridge over the Tiber at Rome, because the Etruscans lived on the other bank, and Rome was strong enough to defend only one bridge at a time. The most famous story concerning the bridge is the one ab.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||

It makes him uncomfortable to be around. I prefer a brute sensualist like Antonius. He wants power, but that's just so he can accumulate more wealth and more women and wine and food and houses. Power to him means things he can taste and feel. To Caesar'--I shrugg.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
