Quite good, I thought, altho' ISTR someone here objecting that it
was too RPGish. Three adventurers in Bronze Age Tyre, a beat-up
Trojan War vet, an exiled Egyptian ex-priest, and a barbarian
female from whatever they called Britain back then.

The first of a duology; the second one is _Jericho Moon_, in which
our trio anticipates Indiana Jones by several millennia by getting
their hands, briefly, on the Ark of the Covenant.
