If you like the 1632 series this is one of the best entries in the series. If you are not a fan of the series already this may not be a great book for you.

I'm a fan of Dr. Phillips Gribbleflotz and I have been thoroughly disgruntled that Dr. Stone and some looked at Dr. Phil as a charlatan! Finally, this book knocks the issue out of the park! Dr. Stone finally have to admit that Dr. Phil is a bona fide physician and alchemist! Hooray!!! I love the ending! The epilogue is about 4 lines but, gosh, makes me grin.
This is a zany and fun story. We have kidnapping, real charlatans (oxymoron!), show surgeries, and the making of a lot of money for Dr. Phil (as usual)!
All the more reason that I mourn the passing of Rick Boatright. There's chemistry and (science and facts) to the rescue! Dr. Phil shines with his characteristic showmanship and creativity! Love Diana (a real go-getter and model of competency), Stephen (absolute gem of competency!), Frau. Mittlehausen (Dr. Phil is so lucky to have her oversee his empire), and even Sebastian with his ever present camera. Tom Stone is of course as delightful as ever.
I really hope and wish there's more stories of Dr. Gribbleflotz (RB's absence will be keenly felt) but even if there isn't I feel like this closes the story arc very nicely. You don't have to be a fan of 1632 to enjoy Dr. Gribbleflotz stories but really should read the series and this duology.
