Galland, N: Master of the Revels A Return to Neal Stephenson's D.O.D.O.

"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

"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

"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

"A high-stakes techno-farce with brains and heart."

"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
