The trials of Dr. Daniel Waterhouse and the Natural Philosophers increase one hundredfold in an England plagued by the impending war and royal insecurities, as the beautiful and ambitious Eliza plays a most dangerous game as double agent and confidante of enemy kings.

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.

I found the addition of Katherine Kellgren as Eliza in the third book a little jarring, after having gotten used to Simon Prebble doing Eliza's voice in the two previous books (and doing a seamless job of it, too.)

Kellgren's Eliza is a touch too arch, too insufferably prissy; not how I imagined Eliza to be. It makes the numerous readings of Eliza's correspondence in this book three of the cycle seem interminable. This stands out because, though this is a ridiculously long work, I rarely lose patience with its length - and I remember reading through the correspondence sections of the third book without any impatience or sense of 'slogging through'.

I think her voice is just a bit too much, like trying to make an entire meal of lemon bars. Makes you long for plain bread. I'm hoping this effect lessens as the books go on.

Great book

This was a very well written book. Great information, humor, and presentation. I will listen to them all.

Like the others, hard to start, easy to finish, and I look forward to the next one.

Still can't figure out whether I like this series...

Stephenson’s book is awesome AND the narrators are incredible. They make the author’s fun but dense writing engaging.

Another amazing audiobook

I like the story, but kept getting pulled out of the narrative during the female letter reading. The bored, I'm too good for you, fake elite accent didn't work for me, especially when describing her baby's death in childbirth.

Good Story

As mentioned in previous reviews, this series of books is very dense with a lot of characters and story threads. It's hard to differentiate any specific book (other than some of the last in the series), so difficult to say something specific about this particular book. In the early books, there's a heavy reliance on letters written between characters which can be a little dry. The narrator is excellent!

Slow going but interesting

Some scenes are delightful, and the book is generally entertaining.
It's better to read the first two book in the series first, because the main characters are from those books.
Some parts are written like a correspondence novel, which is refreshing.
The performance of the narrators is good. No complaints. The different male characters have distinct voices, and the main female character is fun to listen to.

Like an episode in a series

Hard to believe this is the same Author who penned Termination Shock. Stroke in the interim perhaps?

Excellent

The only thing better than a Neal Stephenson book is the cast Audible puts together to read it.

Amazing book and cast.

I don't get surprised very often when I read, but this was a lot of fun and as always the history and storytelling were impeccable.

surprise ending I never saw coming
