    There’s a little surprise at the start of this book – a device that writers would call a ‘twist’ if it was a work of fiction. Author Iwan Rhys Morus sets the reader up believing one thing before there’s an eye-opening ‘reveal’ that will take them by surprise, even if they had suspicions that the author was deceiving them in some way. No spoilers here, but it’s convincing in its detail and pleasing in execution, setting the stage for an especially riveting science history read.
