* The ''Medici Trilogy'' by Martin Woodhouse and Robert Ross portrays LeonardoDaVinci coming up with several interesting techniques and devices, apparently later lost to history. In the first book, he invents small, readily transportable cannon and the ballistic math to fire them accurately at targets he can't even see. Instead of trying to smash down walls, Leonardo and the cannoneers he turns into a strike team use these guns to blast open doors -- or to wipe out enemy troops with grapeshot. He's also shown to have developed a mini-telescope. In the third book, he develops hang gliders to slip his team into an enemy-held city.
