6. _Venus in Copper_ by Lindsey Davis

Jan 2013

Third Marcus Didius Falco novel. Falco goes to prison. His mother frees him. Falco moves. Titus comes to dinner, unexpectedly--with the Praetorian guard. Helena Justina proves that a Senator's daughter can go slumming with a PI. And one client is suspected of poisoning another client.

Life hard in AD 71.

Also, _Goliath_ by Scott Westerfield, third in a YA Steampunk/WW I trilogy. Plucky boy and plucky girl disguised as plucky boy take on the empires--German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, British, Ottoman, you name it!
