CHILD OF THE EAGLE
by Esther Friesner
Baen
312pp/$5.99/June 1996 Cover by Gary Ruddell Reviewed by Steven H Silver Esther Friesner's Child of the Eagle: A Myth of Rome begins the night before Julius Caesar's assassination. One of the conspirators, Marcus Junius Brutus has a visitation in his garden by a beautiful woman who seems to know all about the assassination plot. Rather than go to Caesar to protect him, she has opted to convince Brutus not to murder the man who had shown him so much leniency in the past (Caesar pardoned Brutus after Brutus supported Caesar's opponent, Pompey in 46BC). Although her arguments are anything but convincing, Brutus eventually agrees to attempt to thwart the conspiracy. By saving Caesar, and therefore himself, Brutus puts himself on the path to greatness. As Brutus's career in the Roman senate advances, he begins to notice, or at least believe, that all those who are close to him die untimely deaths, perhaps as part of Brutus's own gift from the gods that he live to one hundred without aging. Friesner's book has a certain disjointed quality to it. The novel covers approximately forty years in Brutus's life, from the assassination attempt on Caesar in 44BC until he repudiated his gift nearly forty years later when he was in his eighties. Unfortunately, some chapters follow directly on the heels of the previous chapter while others are set with years between them. Friesner never really manages to clarify how much time has past, the reader, therefore, spends the beginning of each chapter trying to figure out whether a day or a decade has past since the previous chapter.

Robert Aspirin and esther friesner, E. Godz (Baen, 2003). Meet Edwina Godz, CEO of E. Godz, Inc., America s largest and only family
http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_aspirin_egodz.html
Robert Aspirin and Esther Friesner, E. Godz (Baen, 2003) Meet Edwina Godz, CEO of E. Godz, Inc., America's largest and only family-owned clearinghouse for magical power. She's got a small problem. Two of them, really: her children, vapid Peez (the Dateless Wonder, and Emergency Virgin for several New York magical groups) and vacuous Dov (with a smile for every occasion). Not only do they hate each other to the point of absolute detestation, but it's a sure bet that if they take over the company when Edwina dies, they'll tear it apart in their ensuing power struggles, ruining everything Edwina has worked so hard to build. Her solution? Die early, and make the two fight it out, with only one sibling coming away with complete control of the company. So she sends out her letters, climbs into bed, and waits to see what'll happen, and who'll emerge on top, kicking and screaming. Now it's up to Peez and Dov (and yes, I wince at the names also) to make the rounds of E. Godz's biggest subsidiaries, to gladhand and schmooze and build their power bases. Winner takes all. Dov, accompanied by a particularly persistent talking amulet, and Peez, accompanied by her overly manipulative magical teddy bear Teddy Tumtum (stop rolling your eyes) are on the road and in the boardroom. And so each of them visits the representatives of the groups that power E. Godz. There's the Native American shaman who'll give anyone a spirit quest for $3,000 a pop (only the most glamourous of spirit totems given, of course). There's the Egyptian death cult in Chicago that never grew out of the frat mentality. There's the voodoo dude down in New Orleans, the Wiccan high priestess in Salem, the Eskimo who'll make a totem pole of any pantheon you want to worship, from talk show hosts to sports team mascots to actual totemic animals, and finally, there's the Reverend Everything in L.A., who puts on a show no worshipper is soon to forget. As Peez and Dov visit each one, they learn more about the ways of the business, and the relationship of magic to belief to profit. And if they learn a little more about themselves in the process, so be it.

The Chick is in the Mail
(Baen, 2000)
They're ba-ack! Those bronze-bra'd beauties, those lithe and lethal lassies, those daring distress-denying damsels, those wild and wonderful women warriors: the chicks in chainmail are back! The Chick is in the Mail is editor Esther Friesner's fourth collection of stories starring feisty females and a cover featuring a warrior woman whose barely visible means of support couldn't possibly comprise sufficient bronze to coat adequately a baby shoe. As with the previous collections, the 15 stories and 1 poem by 17 authors (one story is a collaboration) demonstrate a vivid range of imagination and interpretation. The single poem, "To His Iron-Clad Mistress," is by Kent Patterson and kicks off the collection with its brief declaration of everlasting love. Well, "enduring" might be a better word. Or perhaps we should just say that his love is less prone to rust. The Ladies Aid and Armor Society returns in Elizabeth Moon's "Sweet Charity." This time, Krystal Winterborn's scheme to be elected Queen of the Charity Ball runs out of control, with unexpected results for sister warrior Mirabel Stonefist. As always, Moon's story is great fun, smoothly written and witty. Harry Turtledove does a time-traveling riff on J.D. Salinger called "The Catcher in the Rhine." Turtledove's Holden Caulfield-esque hero whines his way through rescuing a warrior maiden sleeping in a ring of fire after he falls in with an evil sorcerer. The story is clever and well-done, although wearing if one is not fond of

Esther Friesner, editor,
Chicks in Chainmail
(Baen, 1995)
Although bronze bras figure prominently in Chicks in Chainmail , the shapely woman warrior on the cover is wearing more of a chainmail tank top and matching loincloth. She's also wearing other bits of armor about her person, but I'm not sure what they're called although I think the things on her legs are called "greaves." (I'd ask the editor to look at the cover and help me out, but I'm afraid he'd get too, um, distracted to give me a timely answer.) These twenty variations on the Woman Warrior theme poke gentle fun even as they extend the concept beyond the "bimbo-with-a-blade," as Friesner points out in her excellent introduction. She proves her point in the sheer range of the stories that follow. Roger Zelazny's "Lady of Steel" neatly turns the tables on the tired theme of the woman disguised as a man in order to fight. "And Ladies of the Club" by Elizabeth Moon deftly demonstrates the folly of taking advantage of some of the Woman Warrior's natural attributes, particularly if some of them study law in their spare time. In "Exchange Program," Susan Shwartz sends Hillary Rodham Clinton to Valhalla, with some of the funniest laugh-out-loud lines I've ever read. Harry Turtledove informs us that being "Goddess For a Day" is not all it's cracked up to be, and "Armor-Ella" is Holly Lisle's fairy-tale twist on the genre, with slightly naughty results. What's a single mother to do when she has to take her daughter's class on a field trip to her workplace and her job description just happens to involve wearing a bronze bra and wielding a sword? Margaret Ball tells us in the extraordinarily clever "Career Day." David Vierling's "Amore/Amore" is a very funny parody of the barbarian warrior style, involving a very specific piece of armor. "The Stone of War and the Nightingale's Egg" by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough offers an unusual lesson in Chinese history or so the author and editor say.

A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper
If Esther Friesner can write something like this, why is she wasting her time on Chicks in Chainmail? Well, okay, I'm sure that Chicks in Chainmail pays the rent, while a serious novel like The Psalms of Herod pays for espresso. It's the way of the world. I could be wrong. I hope I am. But judging by the number of articles mentioning on Chicks in Chainmail on the Net (forty-one) compared to the number mentioning The Psalms of Herod (eleven, six of which are announcements from bookstores), I suspect I'm not. But back to the book. There are a couple of problems. The main problem is that turns out to be yet another first book of a bleedin' series. And there is no warning of this on the cover or anywhere in the bookexcept on the last page, where they advertise the next book, Sword of Mary, due out in October of 1996. The other problem is that I am not entirely convinced about the likelihood or even possibility of the basic assumption of the book. With a lesser author this might be more of an objection, but Friesner handles the plot and characters so well that I am willing to suspend my disbelief in this regard. I am trying to avoid revealing too much, and the result is probably somewhat incoherent. Come back and re-read this after you've read the book and it will be much clearer.

A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper
Alternate histories are about "what if"s, but even so I was skeptical of this one. After all, the premise is that Venus (the goddess, not the planet) comes down and convinces Brutus to save Caesar from the assassination attempt. This could be a pretty silly idea, but Friesner manages to avoid the pitfalls. Venus is not just a silly love goddess, but the more accurate serious deity of Greek mythology. And her intervention is kept to a minimum. Friesner also manages to come up with a plausible alternate historyperhaps someone more familiar with the period could pick holes in it, but I found it believable. I also found the motivations interesting, though the ending was a bit telegraphed. (Does saying that constitute a spoiler?) But Friesner is never one for the simplistic and manages to cast an unexpectedly mythic interpretation and motivation to it all. Don't dismiss this one as just another silly-premised alternate history. Unusual the premise may be, but Friesner develops it with seriousness and diligence, and more than a little philosophy. I won't argue that Shakespeare's treatment of Julius Caesar and Brutus isn't greater, but I would recommend this book to those interested in historical fantasy. Oh, and while it's true that Charleton Heston was in two film versions of Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR, he never played Brutus (or any of the other conspirators), which appears to be how Gary Ruddell depicted him on the cover.
