The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson & Nicole Galland Book Summary

A New York Times Bestseller

From bestselling author Neal Stephenson and critically acclaimed historical and contemporary commercial novelist Nicole Galland comes a captivating and complex near-future thriller combining history, science, magic, mystery, intrigue, and adventure that questions the very foundations of the modern world.

When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidently meets military intelligence operator Tristan Lyons in a hallway at Harvard University, it is the beginning of a chain of events that will alter their lives and human history itself. The young man from a shadowy government entity approaches Mel, a low-level faculty member, with an incredible offer. The only condition: she must sign a nondisclosure agreement in return for the rather large sum of money.

Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic, are earth-shattering. They prove that magic actually existed and was practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioners. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the time of the Great Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palace—the world’s fair celebrating the rise of industrial technology and commerce. Something about the modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it’s up to Tristan to find out why.

And so the Department of Diachronic Operations—D.O.D.O. —gets cracking on its real mission: to develop a device that can bring magic back, and send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive . . . and meddle with a little history at the same time. But while Tristan and his expanding operation master the science and build the technology, they overlook the mercurial—and treacherous—nature of the human heart.

Written with the genius, complexity, and innovation that characterize all of Neal Stephenson’s work and steeped with the down-to-earth warmth and humor of Nicole Galland’s storytelling style, this exciting and vividly realized work of science fiction will make you believe in the impossible, and take you to places—and times—beyond imagining.

DODO. Jesus guys, you couldn't give us an ending!

Light, yet thoughtful.. A fun read. I enjoyed it tremendously. I’m not sure I can say more without spoiling the fun.

The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.. My only objection to reading this wonderful novel was the number of military type memos, but they did fill in some information. I loved this storyline and characters and the juxtaposition of fantasy with historical fiction. And naked Vikings, how could it get better? And there will be a sequel…

Too Much Gimmickry. I really liked the premise of this story, but the second half is hard to read. Page after page of faux bureaucratic bickering is not interesting and stops the story in its tracks. Could have been trimmed by two hundred pages and would have been fantastic.

Loved it!. Twists and turns through time, not sure who to trust, life and death struggles mixed with hilarious moments that made me laugh at loud. Excellent read!

Way too expensive for an ebook.. I can't spend $18 on an ebook no matter who wrote it. Sorry!

DODO. I’d feel like a DODO if I spent $18.00 on an eBook

17.99?. I was pretty excited for a new Stephenson book, but jeez what a rip off. That's like first edition hard cover price for an ebook. I'll pass until the publisher loses interest in charging this asinine price.

Great Story ... Dauntingly Long!. Really enjoyed "DODO." Wasn't sure my attention span and comprehension were up to a novel of this length. Fortunately, no problem! Any more in the works, guys?

Read it twice…loved it!. History comes alive in the background of all Mr. Stephenson’s work.

The Rise and Fall of DODO. The synergy between the co-authors evolved nicely as the the story became massive. I like a story that lasts, unlike the shorter reads that feel like episodes in a netflix series.

Fun read. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Uh ending?. I hate when a book has no real ending. I thought the book still had like 80 pages to go, and it just ended. The rest of it was an excerpt from something else. Was a good read, but a real letdown at the end. Almost reminds me of a movie ending that makes no sense. “And I will continue the fight……”

Really. ;.3TTypical Christmas ft of utsk UFC game gets the frgywfcxtttttuyg for eqxg

Loved it.... A little irrelevant but hey, this is Neal...
