Quicksilver is Neal Stephenson's first novel in his acclaimed Baroque Cycle, set in the 16th and 17th centuries, in a world of war, scientific, religious and political turmoil. With a cast of characters that includes Newton, Leibniz, Christopher Wren, Charles II, Cromwell and the young Benjamin Franklin, Stephenson shows his extraordinary ability to get inside a place and time; as he did for the futures of his science fiction and for WWII in previous works, here he does for the England of the Civil War and the Europe of the Wars of Religion and the Scientific Revolution.
