Bookroo's summary

In 1665, as the plague ravages London, a reclusive student returns home. Amidst the chaos, Isaac Newton's mind ignites, unraveling the secrets of gravity and motion. How will his discoveries reshape the world?

From the publisher

Isaac Newton was always a loner, preferring to spend his time contemplating the mysteries of the universe. When the plague broke out in London in 1665 he was forced to return home from college. It was during this period of so much death, that Newton gave life to some of the most important theories in modern science, including gravity and the laws of motion.
