The system of the world

The system of the world. The world is a most confused and unsteady place, especially London, center of finance, innovation, and conspiracy, in the year 1714, when Daniel Waterhouse makes his return to England's shores. Aging Puritan and Natural Philosopher, confidant of the high and mighty and contemporary of the most brilliant minds of the age, he has braved the merciless sea and an assault by the infamous pirate Blackbeard to help mend the rift between two adversarial geniuses at a princess's behest. But while much has changed outwardly, the duplicity and danger that once drove Daniel to the American Colonies is still coin of the British realm. No sooner has Daniel set foot on his homeland when he is embroiled in a dark conflict that has been raging in the shadows for decades. This is is the concluding volume in The Baroque Cycle.
