Lose yourself in a mind-boggling quest in history.

This impact is only the first salvo in an all-out war of destruction. Isaac Newton and his young apprentice Benjamin Franklin have taken refuge in old Prague. They investigate the secrets of the ethereal beings who, with their tremendous power and new science, have almost destroyed the world - and yet are perhaps humanity's last great hope. But how safe are they actually there? Peter the Great marches across Europe with his unstoppable troops. And half a world away, Cotton Mather and Blackbeard the Pirate embark with a very special colonial crew to cross the Atlantic Ocean and find out what has become of the Old World. Red Shoe, an Indian healer, sails with them. His mysterious connection to the invisible world warns him that they are all heading for the violent, decisive showdown.
