Pretty much Jack Shaftoe's storyline in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle

Wait, I know about that author and the Shaftoes from Cryptonomicon. You're saying there's more?!

Oh you’re in for a treat! The Baroque Cycle takes place much earlier, but has family ties to Cryptonomicon.

Sooo much more. The Baroque Cycle is like Cryptonomicon squared.
