Book Log 2015 #40: Wrath of the Furies by Steven Saylor
The latest entry in the series following the young Gordianus the Finder sees him still in Alexandria, waiting out the war in the Italian peninsula where Rome is fighting its local client states, while closer to Egypt Mithradites is taking over many of Rome's Asian territories. Gordianus's former tutor and agent for Mithridates, Antipater, apparently finds himself in trouble, forcing Gordianus to enter enemy territory - Romans found in Mithradates's territory are likely to be executed - to find Antipater and save him from harm.
This book feels much more like an entry from the original series, though it captures enough of Gordianus's youth and inexperience to keep things interesting. There's also the continued development of his relationship with Bethesda, which is still pretty much in her favor.
The best of the young Gordianus books to date, which makes me look forward to future entries.
