Slightly spiffier title than The Battle of Teutoburg Forest. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/031237106...&pf_rd_i=507846 |

Ah, looks like another historical fiction on the lines of Justinian II and Fort Pillow. |

Took him long enough to get that project going. The title and cover art both seem campy to me. |

Campy cover art for an HT book is nothing new. Campy title--yeah, I suppose so. I found the original title to be merely pedestrian, though, so I'll take the camp. |

"Campy cover art for an HT book is nothing new." Certainly, but this sort of takes it in a new direction. "Campy title--yeah, I suppose so. I found the original title to be merely pedestrian, though, so I'll take the camp." I never saw anything wrong with the last title. And "Teutoberg!" sure is fun to say. |

If I was the publisher, I'd definitely want to make sure that new readers saw this was a novel, not a monograph, and the original title was pretty ambiguous in that respect. |

It could have carried the same subtitle--which by the way is terribly unhelpful if someone fails to recognize the origin of the quote. |
