I found this not quite as beguiling as the previous series entry, but still very enjoyable. Falco is sent to what we now call the Middle East, possibly to get rid of him, of course. Helena accompanies him (a little far-fetched), and they fall in in with a group of traveling players before the real action starts. There are whiffs of Mr. Micawber, and more than a whiff of Hamlet in the play Falco finally decides to write. But the grit of the desert, the dangers of the factions, the bustle of the oases are all quite vivid. Some not-quite-justifiable crises serve to gather all the various vested interests in time to, as Falco would say, sort things out. ( ) So far this is my least favourite of the Falco series. It lacks the pace and excitement of the other books. in this we are dragged through the deserts of Syria, Palestine and Jordan to very little purpose other than to get Falco and Helena out of Rome for a bit. I finished it in the vague hope that it might improve once they reached the next of the ten towns, unfortunately my faith was misplaced. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Last Act in Palmyra is the sixth book in the bestselling Falco series by Lindsey Davis. The spirit of adventure calls Marcus Didius Falco on a new spying mission for Emperor Vespasian to the untamed East. He picks up extra fees from his old friend Thalia the snake dancer as he searches for Sophrona, her lost water organist. With the chief spy Anacrites paying his fare, Falco knows anything can go wrong. A dangerous brush with the brother, the sinister ruler of Nabataean Petra, sends Falco and his girlfriend Helena on a hasty camel ride to Syria. They join a travelling theater group, which keeps losing members in non-accidental drownings. The bad acting and poor audiences are almost as bad as the desert and its scorpionsâ??then as the killer hovers, Falco tries to write a play. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
