“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
