Quotes
"[T]he quest to crack a tantalizing old riddle . . . here takes on new twists . . . A book to delight lovers of well-crafted fiction-and well-anchored fact."
- Booklist (starred review)
“Joven has put together a fine recipe for a thriller . . . .The science and history lessons come fast and furious: Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler, history of the Jesuits, Paracelsus and alchemy, John Dee and Edward Kelley, the Prague of Rudolph II, the laws of planetary motion, the Gregorian calendar. Luckily, Joven’s lively expository prose (given in Dolores M. Koch’s smooth and efficient translation) stops the book from collapsing under its own weight.”
