Book Description
======
From best-selling author Neal Stephenson and critically acclaimed historical
and contemporary commercial novelist Nicole Galland comes a captivating
and complex near-future thriller combining history, science, magic,
mystery, intrigue, and adventure that questions the very foundations
of the modern world.
When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidently
meets military intelligence operator Tristan Lyons in a hallway at Harvard
University, it is the beginning of a chain of events that will alter
their lives and human history itself. The young man from a shadowy government
entity approaches Mel, a low-level faculty member, with an incredible
offer. The only condition: She must sign a nondisclosure agreement in
return for the rather large sum of money.
Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic,
are earth-shattering. They prove that magic actually existed and was
practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the scientific revolution
and the Age of Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioner-
–
s. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the time of the Great
Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palace – the world’s fair celebrating
the rise of industrial technology and commerce. Something about the
modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it’s up to
Tristan to find out why.
And so the Department of Diachronic Operations – D.O.D.O. – gets cracking
on its real mission: to develop a device that can bring magic back and
send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive…and meddle
with a little history at the same time. But while Tristan and his expanding
operation master the science and build the technology, they overlook
the mercurial – and treacherous – nature of the human heart.
Written with the genius, complexity, and innovation that characterize
all of Neal Stephenson’s work and steeped with the down-to-earth warmth
and humor of Nicole Galland’s storytelling style, this exciting and
vividly realized work of science fiction will make you believe in the
impossible and take you to places – and times – beyond imagining.
Full cast of narrators includes Robert Fass, James Foster, Tavia Gilbert,
Arthur Morey, David Stifel, Charlie Thurston, and Kate Udall.
