    About this audiobook

    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.

      There are so many things they love about this story. Even with some nitpicking, it was really fun. The first and most important is that it has a Lovecraft touch. After a whaler returns from a trip to the Far North, the streets of Boston have become less safe. Something got the people. North. The protagonists are also interesting. The young woman, April, has never met her employer. All she knows, her job is to read all the books she's asked, make the pastries and coffee (no one ever touches them), practice riding a velocipede and more, listen to lectures and all sorts of other weird requests. . The job pays well, though. One day, the three lights above the metal office door come on and Smith makes history. You won't talk about it much in this book. Suffering from a kind of amnesia. Everything he knows is there because of the disappearances. I really liked April. She's an independent young woman, but the attacker didn't hit me in the head with that. On the other side, there is this dark organization, but April and Smith only face one of their members. It is possible that the sequel happens in another book. Overall, The Chronological Man; The Monster in the Fog is a simple and fun story. You have to suspend your disbelief a bit because some reactions to what's going on have been quite convenient ([Smith goes to the police; the speed at which they accepted his story is pretty incredible considering how many people are missing. The biggest annoyance: the author continued to allow Smith to interpret what the creature was thinking or feeling, but also continued to point out that due to its strangeness there was no way to know the reasons for the creature's behavior 'such a creature in the hero's head, so you only see what the hero sees, not what the creature thinks.

      I have been a fan of Andrew Mayne since the first Underwater a investigations book. He has a natural talent for keeping readers engrossed. He can give just enough background, character description or scenic descriptions to reel you in but not so much that it becomes tedious. Love Mr Smith and April. Quite possibly my new favorite duo.
