Synopsis

Edinburgh, 1785. A prominent geologist is kidnapped.

George Stephens is weeks away from receiving his medical degree, but he doubts he'll make it as a physician in a crowded, competitive marketplace. Instead, he hopes Professor Joseph Black's friend James Hutton can get him a job in his chemical manufacturing works.

But before he has a chance to arrange this, Hutton is kidnapped. The eccentric geologist was about to deliver his bombshell treatise on the age of the Earth, threatening to upend conventional beliefs about the universe and man's place in it.

Getting Hutton back pits George, Black and friends against a fanatical opponent who will stop at nothing until Hutton's heretical theories are buried. If George wants to survive long enough to graduate, he'll need every ounce of his courage and skill.

Return to the murky, action-packed world of The Edinburgh Doctrines series with this exciting continuation to George Stephens' story.
