In October 1623 Sir Francis Bacon describes a new and ingenious method for writing in code. One month later the Shakespeare First Folio is published. A coincidence? Over 250 years later a brilliant young physician made a discovery about the works of Shakespeare—coded messages which offer an unsettling revision of history in the royal court of Elizabethan England. Hidden agendas, secret lives, murder and scandal at the highest levels are revealed as seen by one who saw it firsthand, Francis Bacon. Truth can be stranger than fiction. Bacon, a visionary and poet, laid philosophical foundations for the scientific revolution. But he also walked the corridors of power and held the highest offices in the land. At last the incredible truths he knew about the politics of his day have been revealed. See photos of the 100-year-old cipher wheel used to decode the encrypted messages and learn more about this book at ShakespeareCode.com.
