The Monster in the Mist

Chronological Man, Book 1

By: Andrew Mayne

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

The exciting first Chronological Man Adventure!

It's 1890 and the citizens of Boston are beginning to go missing in the fog.

The police are confounded. The public is frightened. The city is on the edge of hysteria.

It's up to the mysterious Smith, inventor and adventurer, to figure out what's going on with the help of his assistant, April Malone. They'll have to face off against a secret society, corrupt policemen, and a mad psychologist hell-bent on dissecting Smith, in order to solve the mystery of what's going on and to save the city from an even more sinister threat.

It's the first story of Smith, a hard science fiction time traveler with more than enough quirk to last him several centuries.

Andrew Mayne doesn’t miss!

I’ve read every series Andrew Mayne has put out and no matter what he’s writing, he grabs your attention and doesn’t let go until the very last word. I wasn’t sure about this one at first because it seemed so different from his other books, but I loved it. Smith and April have major Doctor/companion energy and it just works so well. 10/10 can’t wait for the next one!

Average

Disappointing compared to his other books. Just couldn’t get into the story line and couldn’t finish it.

Superb

Andrew Mayne is a brilliant and entertaining novelist. His abilities to blend science and life with enjoyable fiction are spellbinding. He creates characters that are intriguing: root or boo them. This story is science fiction unlike his other books. I enjoy them all. Highly recommended.

Not up to Mr. Mayne’s usual standard

I have loved every Andrew Mayne book since I read The Naturalist. This book, unfortunately, does not live up to his usual standard. It is kind of science fiction rather than based on real science or “magic” and did not hold my interest. I hope he will return to his science based books.

very solid

with how much bad there is out there it's nice to have a competent story.
