This book has a lot of the horrible Labienus in it, as he is the viewpoint character for all the linking bits between the short stories/reports. This book is fascinating but a lot less humorous than the other Baker books I've read, except for my favourite story, about Latif and the delightful van Drouten. I liked the story about Lewis in the Irish monastery too.
There is quite a lot about the little people in The Children of the Company, which is full of information we will obviously need to know to enjoy the rest of the series to the full, but shows the dark side of the company, and the corruptness of some of the immortals. Some of the stories are pretty sad, but I am happy to have read this book.
The Children of the Company first published 2005, some parts of it previously published 1999-2001
