Publisher's Synopsis

Intellectual jealousy, hurt pride, misplaced loyalty and ambition drive three men to undermine Galileo's work and break his relationship with Pope Urban VIII. Ultimately bringing Galileo before the Inquisition to recant his view that the earth moves around the sun. This book explores the possibility that Galileo was persecuted because his work undermined the writings of Aristotle. That Galileo became the victim of a conspiracy to protect Jesuit authority. Making significant use of historical records this book traces a fictionalised account of the key events between 1616 and 1633 that lead to Galileo's trial.
