Description:
Dr. Broth, professor emeritus of non-Euclidean paleolinguistic astrohistoriography has lost his monograph on the indopithiscene tribal kinship equations in an airline baggage-handling mix-up. Recovering his life's work will take him, his trusted gardener Ollie, and the inscrutable McGuffin, an alpaca who can defy the limits of time and space, on a journey that stretches from St. Petersburg, Mercury, Shogun Japan, and the Incan Andes, to the Bronx -- and into the future. On each leg of the trip they must solve a different kind of problem -- from number, logic, and spatial reasoning puzzlers to mazes and crosswords, to palindromes and codes -- and readers share the challenges right along with the characters.
