In an alternate eighteenth-century Europe devastated by alchemical
disaster, Sir Isaac Newton and his able assistant, Benjamin
Franklin, confront enemies who seek humankind's destruction Sir
Isaac Newton's discovery of philosopher's mercury in 1681 gave rise
to a remarkable new branch of alchemical science. Forty years
later, the world stands poised on the brink of a new dark age . . .
England is in ruins, crushed by an asteroid called to Earth by the
very alchemy Newton unleashed. France is in chaos following the
long-delayed death of Louis XIV. Cotton Mather, Blackbeard, and the
Choctaw shaman Red Shoes set sail from the American colonies to
investigate the silence lying over the Old World. And in Russia,
Tsar Peter the Great, now host to the evil entity that kept the Sun
King alive, seizes a golden opportunity for conquest as he marches
his unstoppable army across a devastated continent. Meanwhile
Newton and his young apprentice, Ben Franklin, hide out in Prague,
awaiting the inevitable violent collision of all these disparate
elements-human and demonic alike-while a fugitive Adrienne de
Mornay de Montchevreuil pursues the secrets of the malakim and her
own role in their conspiracy to obliterate humankind. The second
volume of the Age of Unreason series, Greg Keyes's masterwork of
alternate history, A Calculus of Angels brilliantly expands the
scope of the world he introduced in Newton's Cannon as an
unforgettable cast of historical heavyweights collide on a
different Earth where magic and science coexist.
