Quicksilver: Volume One of The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson
-an extract from quicksilver, the first in a trilogy, by neal stephenson. it is described as being set in isaac newton's time, with some suggestion, i'm sure that it involves the ancestors of the characters in cryptonomicon. to be honest reading the extract, it doesn't actually do very much for me. with this kind of extract one doesn't really get any impression of where it is going to go. so no doubt i'll still read the book, based on past experience with the author.
