    The Civil War may be over but a new war has begun, one between the past and the present, tradition and technology. On a former marshy wasteland, the daring Massachusetts Institute of Technology is rising, its mission to harness science for the benefit of all and to open the doors of opportunity to everyone of merit. But in Boston Harbor a fiery cataclysm throws commerce into chaos, as ships’ instruments spin inexplicably out of control. Soon after, another mysterious catastrophe devastates the heart of the city.

    Would you be willing to try another book from Matthew Pearl? Why or why not?

    Yes, but I would temper my enthusiasm.


    Any additional comments?

    Very good concept but it gets out of hand and a little too far fetched. I enjoyed the surprising twists and turns and some of the learning regarding the early years of MIT as well. The story dragged on at the end and while some of the main characters were well developed others left you wanting for more.

    Not a flop, but certainly not a book that I would eagerly recommend to friends.
