Book Log 2014 #30: The Seven Wonders by Steven Saylor
Often mentioned, this book recounts the trip that Gordianus the Finder took as a young man to visit the Seven Wonders, a trip taken with his tutor under somewhat unusual circumstances. As you might imagine, at each stop Gordianus manages to get caught up in a local mystery, and uses his developing skills to solve it.
The mysteries aren't that complex - not surprising, as there's a limited number of pages for each - but they're enjoyable nevertheless. They give a fuller picture of how Gordianus came to be the Finder, and the greater forces that led him away from Rome and to Alexandria.
