About this ebook
The second volume of Gene Wolfe's powerful story of Latro, a Roman mercenary who, while fighting in Greece, received a head injury that deprived him of his short-term memory.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Awkward narration by a character who forgets each night and remembers things only through what he wrote down and his companions. Somewhat interesting story but confusing and disappointing ending.
