Daniel Waterhouse finds himself embroiled in a dark conflict that has been raging in the shadows for decades. It is a secret war between the brilliant, enigmatic Master of the Mint (and closet alchemist) Isaac Newton and his archnemesis, the insidious counterfeiter Jack the Coiner, a.k.a. Jack Shaftoe, King of the Vagabonds. Hostilities are suddenly moving to a new and more volatile level, as Jack plots a daring assault on the Tower of London itself, aiming for nothing less than the total corruption of Britain’s newborn monetary system.

The Baroque Cycle, Neal Stephenson’s award-winning series, spans the late 17th and early 18th centuries, combining history, adventure, science, invention, piracy, and alchemy into one sweeping tale. It is a gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive historical epic populated by the likes of Isaac Newton, William of Orange, Benjamin Franklin, and King Louis XIV, along with some of the most inventive literary characters in modern fiction.

Audible’s complete and unabridged presentation of The Baroque Cycle was produced in cooperation with Neal Stephenson. Each volume includes an exclusive introduction read by the author.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[Stephenson is] a know-it-all and a show-off, no doubt about it, but he gets away with the lectures, digressions and excruciatingly cataloged details because he is so damn funny and inventive.” ( San Francisco Chronicle)
Intricate Historical Narrative • Educational Historical Content • Engaging Adventure Elements • Fascinating Economic Themes

Stephenson does it yet again! I appreciate how this series captured my interest with the first book and each subsequent book adds a new layer of intrigue. I've learned more about 17th Century Europe from Neal Stephenson than in four years of High School, and thoroughly enjoyed it in the process! I can't wait to tackle the final book.

Very Keen Indeed!

the Baroque Cycle is amazing. I started back when the first book came out and it is now entertaining me through the audible app. Looking forward to the next installation.

continues to thrill

It's a long slog through the Baroque Cycle to get to this book, but by the time you get to books 7, then 8, you really need to finish them. By the time you get to Currency, the story is coming together. You know the characters, and motivations start to make sense. I would be hard pressed to say the entire series is worth the investment, but once you've gotten this far, finish it!

OK, the story is starting to get good
