Not sure why it took me a second reading to get into them better; it may well have been me and not the books. I still think there's too much telling instead of showing, but it's an enormous canvas he's painting; I've never seen anything other than a history book so concerned with involved politics in so many centers.

I append the perennial question about whether there's any news about forthcoming books from Glen.
