Computer nerd getting back into the habit of curling up with a good book he so fondly remembers from ages past.

My interests range relatively widely, from history (both, books about history and history novels) over military SciFi to Fantasy to all kinds of technical books.

I prefer long-running series or large universes with dozens of books when it comes to my fiction reading.

My all-time favourites:

  • David Weber's Honorverse. Far and away the best military SciFi out there
  • Rebecca Gable's Waringham series

reviewed Lustrum by Robert Harris (Emperor, #2)

Robert Harris: Lustrum (2017, Penguin Random House)

Rome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven …

A great start to an excellent trilogy about the final days of the Roman Republic

A great series about Cicero's life in the final days of the Roman Republic. No great surprises if you know history, but Robert Harris knows how to write a history novel. Plus, the entire series is not full of battles or anything. It's rather a historical political thriller about Cicero's attempts to somehow safe the Republic.
