In the year 1689, a cabal of Barbary galley slaves -- including one Jack Shaftoe, aka King of the Vagabonds, aka Half-Cocked Jack -- devises a daring plan to win freedom and fortune. A great adventure ensues -- a perilous race for an enormous prize of silver ... nay, gold ... nay, legendary gold.

In Europe, the exquisite and resourceful Eliza, Countess de la Zeur, is stripped of her immense personal fortune by France''s most dashing privateer. Penniless and at risk from those who desire either her or her head (or both), she is caught up in a web of international intrigue, even as she desperately seeks the return of her most precious possession.

Meanwhile, Newton and Leibniz continue to propound their grand theories as their infamous rivalry intensifies, stubborn alchemy does battle with the natural sciences, dastardly plots are set in motion ... and Daniel Waterhouse seeks passage to the Massachusetts colony in hopes of escaping the madness into which his world has descended.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Neal Stephenson

Neal Stephenson nasceu em 1959. O seu primeiro grande sucesso surgiu com o romance Snow Crash, em 1992. Três anos depois, Stephenson alcançou o reconhecimento internacional enquanto autor de ficção científica com o livro The Diamond Age (1995), sendo galardoado com os prémios literários Hugo e Locus e incluindo-se entre os finalistas do prémio Nebula. Cryptonomicon, de 1999 (Prémio Locus 2000) tornou-se um livro de culto para os «hackers» e os aficionados do universo informático.
O Ciclo Barroco, que se inicia com Argento-Vivo, é uma saga composta por oito romances histórico-científicos independentes. Encontra-se traduzido em vinte línguas e foi galardoado em 2004 com o Prémio Literário Arthur C. Clarke. Neal Stephenson vive em Seattle, no estado de Washington, EUA.
