Neal Stephenson : Odalisque (Baroque Cycle) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Odalisque (Baroque Cycle):

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Book Three of the Author's Baroque CycleBy Steven M. AnthonyOdalisque is Book Three of Volume I () of the author’s Baroque Cycle. Book One introduced Daniel Waterhouse, a 17th century member of the English Royal Society. Both the college years and twilight years of Waterhouse’s life are covered in separate threads. Book Two follows the exploits of Half-Cocked Jack Shaftoe and his traveling companion Eliza, whom he liberated from the Turks at the Siege of Vienna.Book Three merges the characters of Books One and Two during the historical period covering the reigns of Charles II, James II, Louis XIV and William of Orange. This equates to the middle age of Daniel Waterhouse, a Puritan who is navigating the perilous religious landscape between the Protestant King Charles II and the Catholic King James II. Meanwhile Eliza shuttles between the Versailles court of Louis XIV and the , acting as both financial manipulator and covert operative. Various other historical figures make their appearances throughout the pages.If you enjoyed Books One and Two, then this is more of the same. If you are a fan of Stephenson (though this is not the genre that I identify with him), then you might consider purchasing Quicksilver, Volume I of , which combines the first three books of the eight book series (Quicksilver, King of the Vagabonds and Odalisque).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Stephenson doesn't disappointBy FedoganBook #3 of 8 (or-- the second BOOK of the first of three VOLUMES, if you have that publishing format set)launches the "picaresque romance" story lines (ladies first!) of this sprawling tale.Stephenson has a story line for a wide variety of interests: the Newton-Leibniz dispute; French court intrigues and international power plays; English and continental religious-based clique rivalries; baroque-era world trade and currency flows, etc. etc. BUT this book spends time on the more salacious side! By building the history and character of his heroine at this point in the overall epic, he sets the stage for her later appearances and actions.If Bowdler ever gets to work on the Baroque Cycle, he'd have to start with the soft porn of some parts of this book, though.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. even betterBy CustomerI had picked up one of his books at a thrift store, thinking from the title that it was an H P Lovecraft pastiche. I was blown away by the book and happliy discoved that it defied gendre or pigon holing. Keen and sharp witted, on the cutting edge of tech.This one was even better than the last in this set. Both a page turner and a pause for consideration book. Looking forward to the next one..The book was part of a larger order and came in a timley manner and well packed. The inner wrapping of tight plastic as well as a backer board of cardboard both waterproffed it and assure a mint quality of the book(s).

The trials of Dr. Daniel Waterhouse and the Natural Philosophers increase one hundredfold in an England plagued by the impending war and royal insecurities, as the beautiful and ambitious Eliza plays a most dangerous game as double agent and confidante of enemy kings.The Baroque Cycle, Neal Stephenson’s award-winning series, spans the late 17th and early 18th centuries, combining history, adventure, , invention, piracy, and alchemy into one sweeping tale. It is a gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive historical epic populated by the likes of , William of Orange, , and King Louis XIV, along with some of the most inventive literary characters in modern fiction.This novel, as well as the complete and unabridged presentation of The Baroque Cycle, was produced in cooperation with Neal Stephenson. Each volume includes an exclusive introduction read by the author.
