Author's Note
The Voynich Cipher Manuscript featured in this novel exists. Every detail of its appearance, unique text, bizarre illustrations and known history is accurately described. The reproduced pages are from the original, which resides in Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Despite the best attempts of leading scholars and experts, including the cryptographers of America's vaunted National Security Agency, it has never been deciphered. To this day
