Summary: Fascinating & Fun Story about Alien and Human Alliances!!
Comment: This is a great story for anyone who has ever stopped at the end of the day to contemplate a different career or life. It's a good mix of science fiction, history and a mystery. As the story unfolds the characters develop in strong and memorable ways creating unexpected but very pleasing relationships. It takes a fun look at our culture now and some serious reflection at our past. The action develops strong characters with deep convictions which made me feel strongly about them and the outcome of the story. They interact on earth, in spaceships and in another galaxy, creating a different perspective at each location. Curiosity about what was going to happen next kept me turning the pages!

I had some good laughs with this story and I cried. The characters became real; the development of the relationships from the choices the characters made portrayed a lot of depth about how we affect those around us and who we end up close to. I ended up really liking them! It was intriguing to peal away the layers of their personalities while solving the mystery. I loved connecting the events from one time and place to another. He created images I thoroughly enjoyed and could easily visualize. They are very vivid - even down to the flying lizard catching an eclipse moth for lunch! I would love to see this made into a movie!

Richard Neumann has woven an intricate story that crosses time and galaxies. It's done with humor and sensitivity to the proper nuances of "each" culture. It truly was fun reading! You'll want to visit again the very intriguing life of Adrian Smith, CPA. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to read more!! It was a great break from my day to day life!

Summary: An excellent read, for recovering accountants, and others!
Comment: Richard Neumann's Adrian Smith is Douglas Adams's Zaphod Bebblebrox, with a CPA qualification (Certified Public Accountant). A larger than life satirical hero, but an accountant?!

After all, we in the US did invent Star Wars, Star Trek ... and Enron.

I thoroughly recommend this book as a very well written story, with great dialogue, memorable characters set in an interesting period of history (San Francisco's Panama-Pacific Exhibition of 1915 and the beginning of the First World War in Europe), and a very satisfying conclusion - opening the way for more Adrian Smith Chronicles?

This reader wants to see additional titles on Adrian Smith CPA's adventures at large in Richard Neumann's delightful universe.
