Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver is here. A monumental literary feat
that follows the author's critically acclaimed New York Times
bestseller Cryptonomicon, it is history, adventure, science,
truth, invention, sex, absurdity, piracy, madness, death, and
alchemy. It sweeps across continents and decades with the power of
a roaring tornado, upending kings, armies, religious beliefs, and
all expectations.
It is the story of Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and
conflicted Puritan, pursuing 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. It is a chronicle of the breathtaking
exploits of "Half-Cocked Jack" Shaftoe -- London street urchin
turned swashbuckling adventurer and legendary King of the
Vagabonds -- risking life and limb for fortune and love while
slowly maddening from the pox ... and Eliza, rescued by Jack from
a Turkish harem to become spy, confidante, and pawn of royals in
order to reinvent a contentious continent through the newborn
power of finance.
A gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive novel
that brings a remarkable age and its momentous events to vivid
life -- a historical epic populated by the likes of Samuel Pepys,
Isaac Newton, William of Orange, Benjamin Franklin, and King Louis
XIV -- Quicksilver is an extraordinary achievement from one of the
most original and important literary talents of our time.
And it's just the beginning..
