by Neal Stephenson.
Part two of the historical page-turner.
The second part of the Baroque Cycle trilogy which began with Quicksilver is as intricate and well-researched as the first. History, science and economics all rolled into one complex plot. Great stuff.
I can't wait for my next big holiday, and the finale of the cycle.
