As with all Powers' novels, there's a lot going on. Frank (the younger), Daphne, Charlotte, and Lepidopt are all sympathetic characters, there's some who are there for filler, some who are villainous, and some who just show up at the last moment (Canino? really?). Not sure why the head was there, although one mystery was solved because of it; and I'm not entirely sure what the Vespers crowd really wanted with the machine. The revelation of Einstein's big mistake was chilling. Liked all the supernatural imagery. All in all, pretty good but I won't feel a need to read it again.
