“Narrator Bronson Pinchot delivers a relentless performance as Professor Sorbeck, the enigmatic genius responsible for teaching the future to a group of uninspired and often-hilarious students at State University. Pinchot’s delivery is fast and furious yet always fully understandable and, perhaps, all the more realistic. Nothing is watered down in this story, including Pinchot’s take on the colorful cast of characters that populate the university grounds.” AudioFile

“Suck brains with a genius who really is a genius: that is, when you read this book.” Kirkus Reviews
