And young Nat Bramble knows just where to get it... Nat and Darius Nouredini, a poet in a wrestler s body, set off in search of the secret oil well under the abandoned Temple of Mithras in Persia. But their venture lights a trail of fire which ill follow Nat all the way back to England, where he becomes caught in the crossfire of a war between the crown and the first corporations of London. A swashbuckling, rolicking tale of espionage, intrigue and adventure, this beautifully written and researched novel will dazzle and delight readers as we follow Nat Bramble to the ends of the Earth and back again.

Revue de presse

A rollicking Elizabethan yarn that has much to say about the origins and nature of modern capitalism. Newman's weaving of fact and fiction is really quite deft. --Sam Jordison, The Guardian
