The Astronomer

a Novel of Suspense
Jan 04, 2016Liber_vermis rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
The Catholic Church is threatened, on the one hand, by the calls by 'heretic' Martin Luther for reform, and on the other hand, by new ideas of science that question its fundamental beliefs. When a French cleric learns of a plot by the Inquisition to assassinate the Polish astronomer Copernicus a cat-and-mouse chase starts across Europe. While it is often hard to tell who is the "good guy" and the "bad guy", this page-turner tale is an entertaining read.
