writer to discover and then to follow

Author engaging and interesting to read, all these writings are well documented and there makes history lessons while dipping into intrigues which hooks.
A "flat" still I always feared for his novel that sometimes (not always) end too quickly.
But that may be because we are so caught up in the book that saw the remaining few pages, I 'captures the last line.
I recommend Sardou "Leave Rome or die" for those who do not know and of course "Forgive our trespasses".
In the same kind Novels / historical document, I strongly advice Max Gallo, I really enjoyed myself with Roman.
