From Cambridge alchemy to royal intrigue, one scholar navigates the clash between brilliance, madness, and the birth of modern science.
In which Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and courageous Puritan, pursues knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe -- in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight.
Chumming with Isaac Newton at Trinity College, Daniel shields a volatile genius from his own perilous obsessions. Behind the bolted doors of Cambridge, quiet discovery grapples with the ruthless machinations of state.
Through the Great Plague and the firestorm of London, Daniel enters the fledgling Royal Society. In an age of turbulent restoration, experimental philosophy struggles against the treacherous whims of kings, drawing him into the deadly cross-currents of Whitehall.
- Dual Timeline: Decades after the Restoration, an elderly Daniel is summoned from Massachusetts to board the ship Minerva. As he outmaneuvers pirate fleets off Cape Cod, he reflects on a lifetime caught in the gears of history.
- Multiple POV: The narrative expands beyond English academia to follow the irreverent vagabond Jack Shaftoe across war-torn Europe. Alongside him travels the quick-witted Eliza, matching wits with continental power players.
- Forced Proximity: Rescued from the Turkish siege of Vienna, Eliza forms an uneasy alliance with the penniless Jack. Together they traverse the bandit-ridden forests of Bohemia and the Harz Mountains in pursuit of fortune.
- Morally Grey Hero: Rising from enslaved concubine to financial operator, Eliza manipulates the volatile stock exchanges of Amsterdam. In the glittering salons of Versailles, her sharp instincts turn courtly secrets into immense leverage.
- Also by This Author: Seveneves, Termination Shock and The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O..
