Entertaining insights into an Elizabethan age think tank- By: Former world traveler, 16 Feb 2008 This is the most entertaining of the Face Down seriesin my view. Having worked on government grants for a number of years, I found a Gordon style conference sent back to the Elizabethian age fascinating. Spying by government agents of Queen Elizabeth reached a peak that, according to many historians of the subject, wasn't reached again until WWII. Putting the two activities together introduced more humor into this series, which I think is a plus.
