The Adventures of Monsieur de Mailly
from the author of A Voyage to Arcturus
France, 1700 - an age of wit and sophistication, frippery and flattery, reputation and ridicule; an age of politics, romance, intrigue and the sword.Gaston de Mailly, ex-solider and down-at-heel gentleman, is living in a Paris that has little use for his skill with a blade. Fortunately, his wit is equally sharp. Allying himself to the sceptical lawyer Fleurus, Mailly offers to try his hand at any case that can't be pursued through the normal channels of the law.And so, in a series of adventures ranging from Mailly having to save himself from a reputation-destroying joke at the Court of the Sun King Louis XIV at Versailles, to fighting his way…

Über den Autor
David Lindsay was born in Adelaide on 12 June 1943. He married Margie on 23 Jan 1970; he has three children, Sarah, Jodie and James; and six grandchildren, Oliver, Emily, Tom, Maggie, Eddie and Bonnie. He was educated at Grange Primary School, Saint Peter's College Adelaide, University of Sydney (Bachelor of Veterinary Science - 1970), RMIT University (Melbourne Post-Graduate Diploma in Animal Chiropractic - 2000). Professionally, he is a veterinary surgeon with particular interest in physical therapies (chiropractic) of dogs and cats. He was the National President of Australian Veterinary Association (1985-86). David is not a mathematician, neither is he a cosmologist, a physicist, or an astro-physicist, which is strange considering the meanderings of this book. David admits to being obsessive when it comes to identifying and attempting to correct mistakes. Which is not necessarily a bad characteristic in a physician or diagnostician, even a veterinary physician. It has taken twenty-five years to work out a possible answer to what he sees as a mistake made by one of the world's most famous astronomers. It has been a philosophical quest in which it has been just as difficult to find the correct questions as teasing out the answers.
