Ebook About A New York Times BestsellerFrom bestselling author Neal Stephenson and critically acclaimed historical and contemporary commercial novelist Nicole Galland comes a captivating and complex near-future thriller combining history, science, magic, mystery, intrigue, and adventure that questions the very foundations of the modern world.When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidently meets military intelligence operator Tristan Lyons in a hallway at Harvard University, it is the beginning of a chain of events that will alter their lives and human history itself. The young man from a shadowy government entity approaches Mel, a low-level faculty member, with an incredible offer. The only condition: she must sign a nondisclosure agreement in return for the rather large sum of money.Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic, are earth-shattering. They prove that magic actually existed and was practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioners. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the time of the Great Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palace—the world’s fair celebrating the rise of industrial technology and commerce. Something about the modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it’s up to Tristan to find out why.And so the Department of Diachronic Operations—D.O.D.O. —gets cracking on its real mission: to develop a device that can bring magic back, and send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive . . . and meddle with a little history at the same time. But while Tristan and his expanding operation master the science and build the technology, they overlook the mercurial—and treacherous—nature of the human heart.Written with the genius, complexity, and innovation that characterize all of Neal Stephenson’s work and steeped with the down-to-earth warmth and humor of Nicole Galland’s storytelling style, this exciting and vividly realized work of science fiction will make you believe in the impossible, and take you to places—and times—beyond imagining.Book The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.: A Novel Review :
I wish I could return it and forget I ever saw this book. Many other negative reviews have covered many of my problems so I will just highlight the most grievous offenses. First too many stereotypical military/government/academical types just there to be obtuse, narrow-minded enablers of chaos (trust me on this one). A couple of "anachons" who were way too modern and savvy for the times they came from, especially the Viking. The arbitrary nature of the "shears" i.e. minor offenses cause disaster while big offenses did nothing. All of this though pales in the light of the giant self-fulfilling paradox on which the entire plot is built and which the characters involved don't even question. Everything could have been averted with a couple of questions before anything really got started. Another author would get 3 stars for this. Mr. Stephenson gets 2 because I expect better from him, especially at a high price.Short version: The book is interesting, sometimes funny, often shallow. The characters are one-dimensional (except Rebecca). The military jargon is bad. The use of letters/diaries/journals as the narrative works ok, but there's no framing story to explain why these things are collected, or by whom. The mechanics of magic are believable enough to suspend disbelief.I read at least one volume of the Baroque Cycle ( The Baroque Cycle: Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World ) every year. The characters are believable, consistent, and so well-developed over their lives that I can jump back into Quicksilver and remember young Eliza after having last read about older pock-marked Eliza in SotW and feel like I'm meeting her again. It takes place across such important historical events and does such a good job of putting characters in places of import with humor and subtlety that make it all just so fascinating.I've also read a lot of Clancy's Ryan books. Clancy did a lot of collaborative stuff, too. I remember reading the first Net Force book. I feel about The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O (dodo) the same way as I do about Net Force. It was fun. I remember liking the plot and the character interactions, but I can tell you nothing now of substance about any of them. Prior military, I think? One had a Plymouth Prowler? They were throw-away books. Fun, but not meaningful.Dodo feels like a read-and-forget novel that is leading into a series. It ends without resolution, and given that the former work these authors did together was a number of books in series, I'm expecting to see more of these. If they show, I'll wait for the reviews before deciding if it's worth the time/money. There are many things touched on but never utilized that a good edit would have removed, unless they will be needed later. Storing data in an ODEC, for example.In closing.. read it if you've got the time and the price comes down, but if you are a fan of NS, lower your expectations.
