Prophecy – S. J. Parris

My second outing in the company of Italian ex monk Giordano Bruno, protecting Good Queen Bess and (relative) religious tolerance in the service of Sir Francis Walsingham.

As Bruno discovers, there are a few variations on that theme…. particularly once you throw the Catholic cause into the mix. Warning, spoilers.

We find Bruno still enjoying the company of Dr John Dee, and still letting his mind wander towards and wonder about what or who occupies the heavens above – an infinite universe of stars or God and his angels in Paradise.

I think I shall read some more….
