In The Angle Quickest for Flight, a quintet of eccentric metaphysicians searches for a sacred book looted during the Spanish Inquisition and tithed to the Vatican. Steven Kotler's first novel, which received acclaim from masters such as John Barth, moves with dizzying power across continents and epochs, weaving a multilayered narrative around secret societies, mad magicians, and a runaway boy named Angel.

"How much of the magic in our lives do we really notice? Amo asked him on the day they met. How much is our own fantasy? How often does our desire call to empty rooms that will never fill with gods?" p243
There are so many sentences that I needed to reread...and savor the beauty of the words. The group of men gathering together, searching for mystical readings, and meeting danger. Kotler's writing is remarkable. Just remarkable. ( )
