1.2_Simian/Rex (English, EPUB)

„Simian thought about it for a long time, and was glad that he could do it by his intellect alone, without having to get the paper out of his jacket. Meanwhile he had been reading up on the manuscript, very discreetly, of course. Not a word to Neversham, and certainly not a foot back into Voynich’s antiquarian bookshop. His interest had to remain hidden. From all he had been able to gather, the manuscript was old. Estimates stretched back to the 15th century. It wouldn’t make sense to Simian that an awakened angel had been walking the Earth for 500 years. Or rather, he shuddered at the idea.“
