You didn't say much about this book, quite honestly the best book I have ever read..

At the time, I hadn't read it. I finished it about a month ago and was duly impressed... the follow up article will be coming soon, I swear.

Cryptonomicon kept me rivetted from page one through to the end. It is certainly the best book he's written to date. Hey! It had a proper ending as well. Normally he just gets all the guys he's mentioned through-out the book into the same locale and leaves you to it (Except for Zodiac. But the less said about that the better). Rumour has it a sequel is in the pipeline.

Eh, the ending for Cryptonomicon kinda left me feeling empty.
And I think I now understand that I am the _only_ person on Earth who thoroughly enjoyed Zodiac.

Likewise. The sequel is called "Quicksilver" I believe; and I think it's going to be set in the 1600's???

Quicksilver - 1600's?
That'd be back to the briefly covered alchemy theme then. Any release date yet?

Seems a long way off, doesn't it?

It's part of his upcoming Baroque cycle, and you can read the beginning in some of the newer copies of cryptonomicon
