Page "Neal Stephenson" Paragraph 10

The Baroque Cycle, Stephenson's next novel, is a series of long historical novels set in the 17th and 18th centuries, and is in some respects a prequel to Cryptonomicon.

It was originally published in three volumes of two or three books each – Quicksilver ( 2003 ), The Confusion ( 2004 ) and The System of the World ( 2004 ) – but was subsequently republished as eight separate books: Quicksilver, King of the Vagabonds, Odalisque, Bonanza, Juncto, Solomon's Gold, Currency, and System of the World.
