Synopsis "Dark Labyrnith: A Novel Based on the Life of Galileo Galilei"
From hero to heretic, would he live to see honor again?Enchanted by the labyrinth of stars above, Italian professor Galileo Galilei was determined to unearth the mysteries held within. It was 1609 and inspired by the newly invented "perspective glass," which magnified objects on land up to three times their size, Galileo designed prototype after prototype until he achieved an unheard of 20x magnification. He pointed his invention to the heavens and the world would never be the same.He was the first to see the moon's craters, Jupiter's moons, and Saturn's rings, but when Galileo dared challenge the commonly held belief that the earth was the center of the solar system, the darling of the Medicis and Italy's elite salon scene was assailed by the most dangerous men and powerful institution of all time. Swift and ruthless, the Inquisition had Galileo in its sights. His crime? Questioning authority and defending a truth he-the rebel later known as the Father of the Scientific Method-had proven.
