Summary

In this wonderful young adult adventure, a socially maladroit teenager invents a way to become a time-slicing superhero and uses his new powers to extract an exquisite revenge on his junior high school tormentor — and in the process learns a few lessons for himself as well. This hilarious tale is a delicious evocation of adolescent geekery. Don't miss this one!

Written by the Hugo and Nebula award winning author of "The Martian Child," "The Man Who Folded Himself," "The War Against The Chtorr", and "The Trouble With Tribbles".

ScFi or future science ?

This time the Author David Gerrold have truly wrote an amazing book.
This is a Steve Jobs kind of a book creating an awesome suit at the home garage.

There is also a question of right or wrong about being a super hero because being vigilantes is illegal and tends to magnet problems.

Narration by Daniel Penz had a few problems with the equipment ( like the microphone recording out of faze at times ) but nothing to worry about, he still got the characters just right creating a great audiobook !

Absolutely,
Recommended !!!

"Nobody ever beats the rabbit."

Loved it, from the story itself to the narration by Daniel Penz.
Written in the first person, an orphaned bullied high school geek finds a soul mate in Cousin Murray, with whom he is sent to live through the school holidays. Together they build a means for Squidge to stop the bully from doing more harm.
Should have been 5 stars - perhaps if it had been longer than the current slightly less than five hours - had the, to this reader, totally beyond understanding technical information not been as dominating. But I loved the geeky attitude such as the naming of 300 uses for a brick.
Great fun.

My thanks to the rights holder of Nowhere Man, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Free Audiobook Codes.
