READING THE MIND OF GOD is a fierce battle of wills between two geniuses: one a rising young star, the other fearful of losing his place in history. Forced to leave his home because of religious persecution, astronomer Johannes Kepler seeks refuge with Tycho Brahe in Prague, in the year 1600. Kepler not only needs Tycho’s protection, he is desperate for access to Tycho’s world famous collection of stellar and planetary observations. Tycho is not eager to share. These two men struggle for dominance, enough to drive each other mad, but they are bound together by a passion for the heavens. In the end, they develop a love and respect for each other, a father-son bond opens the gateway to our modern conception of the universe
