Heavenly Intrigue is the captivating, true account of the 17th century collaboration between Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brache that revolutionized our understanding of the universe - ended in murder.
One of history's greatest geniuses, Kepler laid the foundations of modern physics with his revolutionary laws of planetary motion. But his beautiful mind was beset by demons. Borin into poverty and abuse, half-blinded by smallpox, he festered with rage, resentment and a longing for worldly fame. Brathe, his mentor, was a flamboyant aristocrat who had spent forty years mappig the heavens with unprecedented accuracy- but he refused to share his data with Kepler. With Brache's untimely death in Prague in 1601, rumors flew across Europe that he had been murdered. But it took twentieth-century forensics to uncover the poison in his remains, and the detective work of Joshua and Anne-Lee Gilder to identify the prime suspect- te ambitious, envy-ridden Kepler himself. A fast-paced, true-life account that reads like a thriller, Heavenly Intrigue is a remarkable feat of historical re-creation.
