Well, The Baroque Cycle is a prequel to Cryptonomicon, featuring the forefathers of the main characters from Cryptonomicon. I haven't read them myself, yet, so I can't comment on how much overlap (for lack of a better word) there actually is, but there most certainly is a link.

That said, different strokes, right?

Martin,
I was totally unaware that there was such a connection. Now that I know I'll keep my eyes open for it.
As far as different strokes, I have no problem with your taking issue with my post. Really.

Issue, issue, issue.

I was just wondering why you didn't like Quicksilver while you did (somewhat) like Cryptonomicon, while they are in some degrees linked. I wondered if, perhaps, despite the links, we're talking two utterly different books here.
