Okay, this seems like a book recommendation ;) Stevenson’s books are very different, how would you describe these ones?

Historical science fiction. Oh, and there'll be familiar names if you read Cryptonomicon.

Loose prequel to Cryptinomicon based in the Golden Era of Europe. Starts after Cromwell's death and ends in the 1700s. Spans the globe, piracy, science, alchemy, politics, intrigue, fighting... It's all there. And done with historical accuracy despite the fictional nature.

You don't have to read Cryptinomicon first, but I recommend it.
