In 1665, with prophecies and portents fortelling the forthcoming Apocalypse, Balthasar, an antiquarian merchant and sage, embarks on a perilous quest through the countries of the Mediterranean and beyond to find a rare book, entitled The Hundredth Name, that could hold the key to the world's salvation. By the author of The Rock of Tanios. Reprint.
The book is set in 1666 when many are convinced the end of the world is coming. I rather like this idea of intersecting religious holidays: three day week!
