Master of the Revels: A Return to Neal Stephenson's D.O.D.O.
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
An epic adventure awaits in this page-turning sci-fi read!
In this brilliant sequel to The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.—an enthralling, history-bending adventure traversing time and space, fact and fiction, magic and science co-written with #1 New York Times bestselling author Neal Stephenson—a daring young time traveler must return to Jacobean England to save the modern world.
This fast-paced sequel to the New York Times bestselling near-future adventure The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. picks up where the original left off, as Tristan Lyons, Mel Stokes, and their fellow outcasts from the Department of Diachronic Operations (D.O.D.O.) fight to stop the powerful Irish witch Gráinne from using time travel to reverse the evolution of all modern technology.
Chief amongst Gráinne's plots: to encrypt cataclysmic spells into Shakespeare's "cursed" play, Macbeth. When her fellow rogue agents fall victim to Gráinne's schemes, Melisande Stokes is forced to send Tristan's untested, wayward sister Robin back in time to 1606 London, where Edmund Tilney, the king's Master of Revels, controls all staged performances in London.
And now Gráinne controls Tilney.
While Robin poses as an apprentice in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Mel travels to the ancient Roman Empire and, with the help of double-agent Chira in Renaissance Florence, untangles the knotted threads of history while the diabolical Gráinne jumps from timeline to timeline, always staying frustratingly one stop ahead—or is it behind?
Historical objects disappear, cities literally rise and fall, and nothing less than the fate of humanity is at stake. As Gráinne sows chaos across time and space, the ragtag team of ex-D.O.D.O. agents must fix the past—in order to save the future.
Critically acclaimed author Nicole Galland brings her deep knowledge of history and signature wit to this gripping romantic adventure.

"Galland's careful attention to everyday life in various time periods creates verisimilitude, as does the assortment of found documents through which the tale is presented. Fans of time-travel science fiction are sure to be engaged." — Publishers Weekly
"Galland does a good job evoking the feel of each period from which the letters or other materials originate. . . for those who favor time-travel yarns, this will be an absorbing and satisfying experience." — Booklist
"For a second novel, Master of the Revels masterfully managed to create an entirely new story that breathed life into new potential mythos and fantasies, while still fleshing out the character arcs of Tristan and Mel in a satisfying, fast-paced way." — The Mary Sue
"The action plays out from ancient Rome to Renaissance Florence and will be delightful to true fans of both history and fantasy. The style is fast-paced and direct, as is necessary with so much complexity of plot and character. The characters are nuanced, and clever use of dialog in a variety of media (epistolary, oral and modern message boards) keeps the pages turning." — Historical Novel Society

Galland, who coauthored The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. with Neal Stephenson, continues the byzantine tale of the now divided interests of the Department of Diachronic Operations as its operatives manipulate time strands through the application of magic and science. Five years after the formation of D.O.D.O., the organization has fallen under the influence of Gráinne, a witch from 17th-century Ireland whose objective is to disrupt the historical events that led to a 21st century dominated by science rather than magic. To stop her, Diachronic Operative Tristan Lyons and his coworker and lover, Melisande Stokes, form an informal counter-agency, GRIMNIR. Both D.O.D.O. and GRIMNIR embark on multiple history-altering missions. After Gráinne changes a few critical lines of Macbeth, for example, Tristan and his sister, Robin, a new recruit, are dispatched to Shakespeare’s London to restore the original text. Gráinne’s mission and GRIMNIR’s countermeasures also take operatives to 14th-century Florence, fourth-century Sicily, and 15th-century Kyoto, with wide-ranging effects on the present. Galland’s careful attention to everyday life in various time periods creates verisimilitude, as does the assortment of found documents through which the tale is presented. Fans of time-travel science fiction are sure to be engaged. Agent: Liz Darhansoff, Darhansoff & Verrill.

Galland's sequel to The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. (cowritten with Neal Stephenson, 2017) blends sf and fantasy to explore the battle between magic and science. A witch named Gr�inne is at war with agents of the Department of Diachronic Operations (D.O.D.O.), a future black ops agency that possesses the secret of time travel. Magic was essentially eliminated from the world in 1851 by the development of certain technologies, and Gr�inne's goal is to restore the primacy of magic by whatever means necessary, while D.O.D.O.'s mandate is to subtly manipulate history to ensure the supremacy of science. The war is fought through various ages of history, with the flow of that history very much dependent on the winners of each battle. The story is told in an epistolary fashion, giving readers accounts from various combatants' points of view. Galland does a good job evoking the feel of each period from which the letters or other materials originate, and familiarity with the earlier book is not necessary for readers to keep up. For those who favor time-travel yarns, this will be an absorbing and satisfying experience.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
