Book of the Week: Newton’s Cannon.

Newton’s Cannon is the first book in Gregory Keyes’ Age of Unreason series, and it flows from an interesting idea: what if, when Isaac Newton went looking for alchemy, there was something there to be found?  …The answer to that question took several books, and by the end of the series most of the survivors kind of wished that Newton had stuck to optics. But I will say no more on that subject.

And so, adieu to The Thin Man.
