I loved this book! Our hero, Medicus, a doctor in ancient Roman-occupied Britain, is a fascinating and totally lovable guy. The book jacket compares him to young Harrison Ford, and I think that's perfect--surly, oblivious to his own charm, professional, and totally adorable underneath a mildly prickly exterior. The writing somehow makes it easy to imagine living in Deva, Brittania (an area in a period I know nothing about) and all the characters are well-written and very engaging. I am really looking forward to the sequel, [b:Terra Incognita|209966|Planetary Vol. 1 All Over the World and Other Stories (Hardcover)|Warren Ellis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172709494s/209966.jpg|423192], and any further adventures of Gaius Petreius Ruso.
