Enjoying so far. Reminds me of Neal Stephenson's Baroque trilogy, a bit, and other fantasy/alternative histories I've enjoyed, stretching back to the Illuminatus trilogy, The Name of the Rose, and, as others have noted, The DaVinci Code. Lovely prose.

Wait wut? 23 years just passed? That was a hell of a chapter break (and a bit of an unremarked upon heartbreak). Maybe I've been reading too many romance novels (if there's such a thing as too much of a good thing), but my favorite story element seems to have atrophied, withered and blown away like the blossoms of an apple tree in a spring storm.

Now I'm thinking of The Calling of Lot 49, by Thomas Pynchon? Secret organizations, crazy picaresque characters and episodes?
