desultory --lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm
encaustic -- using pigments mixed with hot wax that are burned in as an inlay
Review:
Great, just great. I could hardly put this book down. Each evening as I sat and read this book, I had to decide it was time to stop. There was no good stopping point, no good pause, nothing. Just a great book all the way through. I usually don't like mysteries because they are almost impossible to decipher, but all the data was there all the time. It was fantastic.
I also enjoyed the detail (both good and bad) about ancient Rome that littered the book like the detritus of a triumphant battle. What a great author.
