First sentence: LIKE A HORSEMAN WHO REINS in a wild stallion that has borne him, will he, nill he, across several counties; or a ship's captain who, after scudding before a gale through a bad night, hoists sail, and gets underway once more, navigating through unfamiliar seas-thus Dr. Daniel Waterhouse, anno domini 1685, watching King Charles II die at Whitehall Palace.
