Oops, my bad: I should've put more space between commenting on Koontz and reccing the Baroque Cycle.
Koontz didn't write that; it's a monumental trilogy (each book approx. 800 pps long) by Neil Stephenson that takes place in late 17th-early 18th Europe, and trying to describe the plot would take almost as long as reading the book! Suffice it to say its characters include the foremost scientists of the day (e.g., Newton and Leibnitz), a few kings and queens, a courtesan-financier-assassin, and a King of the Vagabonds who fairly cries out to be silver-screened. Plus there are the usual run of pirates, politicians, escaped slaves, soldiers, poisoners, religious fanatics...:)
The three books are Quicksilver, Confusion, and System of the World.

Re: Covenant & Koontz: Sounds like a law firm :)
