Sir Isaac Newton and Benjamin Franklin must combine forces against a wave of black magic that plays havoc with eighteenth-century Europe and threatens a repeat of the dark ages unless the pair can come up with a plan.
"An alternate-history novel on an 18th-century world ruled by ethereal beings. They helped France destroy England with a comet from space and now they are being coveted by Russia and Sweden in their struggle for supremacy. A sequel to Newton's Cannon."
"1722. A l'instigation d'anges mystérieux, les "philosophes" de Louis XIV ont précipité une comète sur Londres. Le but est d'anéantir l'humanité. Seule parade : qu'Isaac Newton et Benjamin Franklin mettent au point l'algèbre angélique pouvant contrer ces ennemis immatériels. Une favorite du Roi s'en mêle, comme Red Shoes, chaman choctaw, qui retraverse l'Atlantique, Cotton Mather ou Barbe-Noire..."

"Nadat een geheim wapen - een gestuurde komeet - Engeland en Frankrijk heeft verwoest, zijn de machtsverhoudingen in het achttiende-eeuwse Europa grondig verstoord."
"1722: A second Dark Age looms after the devastating impact of an asteroid, unnaturally drawn to Earth by dire creatures who plot against the world of men. Yet this destruction is just the opening salvo in a war of annihilation. Sir Isaac Newton and his young apprentice, Benjamin Franklin, have taken refuge in ancient Prague, seeking the secrets of the aetheric beings whose vast powers and new sciences have so nearly destroyed humanity ... yet who may prove to be its last, great hope. But their safety is tenuous, as Peter the Great marches his unstoppable forces across Europe. And half a world away, Cotton Mather and Blackbeard the pirate lead a party of colonial luminaries back across the Atlantic to discover what has befallen the Old World. With them sails Red Shoes, a Choctaw shaman whose mysterious connections to the invisible world warn him that they are all moving toward a confrontation as violent as it is decisive."@en
