Book Comments & Discussion
The best american trilogy of the last couple of decades. Part adventure novel, part historical thriller, part science fiction, and frequently hilareous, this series chronicles the birth of technology and science, as well as the birth of modern thought through a series of unforgettable characters over a span of decades.
