Interesting story about the days immediately before and during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius (sp?). Told from the viewpoint of a man in charge of the aquaducts in the area... he knows that something has gone terribly wrong because water flow has stopped and as he goes about investigating, he comes upon the truth. There is a also a love story incorporated, as well as an interesting cast of "bad" guys and "good" guys. I recommend this for light reading.
