Now as France and England battle for its control Louis XIV calls for a new weapon--a mysterious device known only as Newtons Cannon. Half a world away a young apprentice named Benjamin Franklin stumbles across a dangerous secret. Pursued by a deadly enemy--half scientist half sorcerer--Ben makes his fugitive way to England. Only Newton himself can help him now. But who will help Sir Isaac? For he was not the first to unleash the Philosophers Mercury. Others were there before him. Creatures as scornful of science as they are of mankind. And burning to be rid of both . . .
