"...the best self-published novel I have read this year...clever, sad and funny by turns - and, occasionally, all at once"-- Big Al's Books and Pals "Heartbreaking and hilarious." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 2025 BIBA winner fiction/non-genre 2024 Indies Today Best Literary Science Fiction "a masterful work of absurdist fiction that is remarkably grounded in authentic emotion and real science"-- Self Publishing Review The genre-crossing misadventures of a lonely boy genius. Vengeful dinosaurs. A runaway alien. Deadly subatomic particles. Parents who don't understand you. John Chant had an unusual childhood, sprinkled with a venomous pet lizard, a robot brother, an omelet competition, an island of monstrous secrets, and a malevolent chimpanzee. Exiled and on his own, he later negotiates graduate school, atomic secrets, and the challenges of death-rays. John is skilled at math and nuclear reactors, but he struggles with the universe's most difficult puzzle: love. "Thrillingly inventive novel of growing up the son of a mad scientist." BookLife review
