Reading Recommendation

A while back, Glenn Reynolds recommended the Lord Darcy mystery series, written by Randall Garrett. He made them sound quite interesting, so I gave them a try.

I hereby give them a 9/10. The premise of the series is that it takes place in an alternate universe where Richard the Lion-Hearted never died, the Plantagenets still rule, and the Normandy Invasion resulted in the Anglo-French Empire. The stories are set in a twentieth century that sounds a lot like the nineteenth century crossed with the Middle Ages. They have gaslight and wrist watches, but no internal combustion engines (steam locomotives but no cars).

Oh, and magic is a science. Every crime investigator works with a forensic sorcerer. Give them a try, they're quite good.
