Dr. Sam Anderson is one of the most celebrated scientists in history. Ten years ago, he invented a device that changed the world forever. Now his life is about to be ripped apart—and his own creation may be to blame. One fateful morning, Sam discovers that his girlfriend has been murdered and that his daughter is accused of the crime. Sam believes she's innocent, but he can't prove it. There's only one thing he can do to save his daughter: confess to the crime. And so he does. But in the future, murderers aren't sent to prison. They're sent to the past.

Tesser, the dragon of life itself, is one of seven: Earth’s primordial draconic guardians, destined to oversee its development and safety. Species rose and fell, and 10,000 years ago...Tesser disappeared. The golden dragon woke up this morning, buried deep beneath the city of Boston, with no idea how he got there, and no idea how humanity grew so fast and learned so much while he was away. He is lost, a fish out of water. Where is the magic? He’s got a lot of catching up to do if he’s going to find his missing sister and stop an incursion of daemons from beyond the Veil.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

not bad for a first book
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would expand the length of the stories and give them more depth. I would also switch to a more animated narrator.
If you’ve listened to books by Angela Cavanaugh before, how does this one compare?
I have not read anything else by this author.
What didn’t you like about James K. White’s performance?
He seemed too monotone at times. Certain stories he would change voices for characters when other stories he kept the same flat narrative style during dialogue.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Probably not because movies that are several short stories don't work well. But a select few of the stories if expanded into movies yes I would watch them.
Any additional comments?
I liked the premises of the individual stories. I thought that the writing style was done well. The biggest fault I found was in the short story makeup. In sci-fi certain background is needed to establish the world you are in and when that was attempted it seemed very rushed simply because there isn't time to elaborate. in other cases where background wasn't supplied the story seemed better. I would read more by this author. I wasn't disappointed.
