Another great installment of this book following Chip, Pete and Bobo in they're quest to find Nikola Tesla so they can get home.
I really enjoy reading these books and I can't wait for the last installment of this book.
Hopefully Rob Dircks will publish it soon.
Highly recommended.

Eh. it's ok. Again, I like the ideas of dimension jumping, alternate universes, and I am attracted to adventure and discovery, etc. and humour, of course, but this story fails to adequately explore any of them. And the main character, as an impulsive, reckless, fickle and fatuous teenage type is too weak to be interesting, and I care little if he get's home to his jilted girlfriend or not. With the arrival of a fourth member in this second installment, and a science education, i had hoped it would inject some depth to the story, but not so. Aside some minor but meaningful input to her new friends' predicament she becomes just another tag-along, like the cute and cuddly alien that lingers from the first book. And what happens to him, and the unexplained and unbelievable, pathetic gesture that put's him there, is (and I hate this word, especially in conjunction with the despised and informal use of the word that follows it) lame dude.
That all sounds a bit harsh; after-all i didn't hate it. I suppose 'disappointed' would be a more appropriate description of my feeling for this story, so far, and a little angry. And with the apparent final installment to the trilogy on the way, likely a short romp as the previous two, I am not confident s**t WILL get really, really real.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
First off, please, do not let the time frame it took me to finish the book make you think it was harder to read than it really was. I had some real life circumstances arise once I opened the book. It really is a quick read and will probably take the average reader about an hour or two to finish.
The story continues with Chip, Pete, Bobo and introduces a couple of new characters Margaret Thatcher(Meg) and WHO. WHO is the cliché protagonist that seems to be out of a DR. Who show. There is humour in all these characters if you know where to look.
The editing is fantastic making this a breeze to read and understand.
Another enjoyable book that my teenage son snuck out of my room to read. He loves the series!
Can't wait to read the final book!

Fun story, continuing on from book one. The lovey-dovey stuff started to get a little old, there's only so much sucking up one guy can do before his buddies would just tell him to shut the hell up, and Chip has reached that point. That said, I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to the finale to the story, since the last page of the book ramped things up. As I said with the first book, I wish that this could've been one book, instead of 3 small books, and the story could've been fleshed out fully, adding more adventures in the alternate dimensions, I think it would've been a lot of fun. Maybe there'll be more to come from these characters after the final book...

Awesome book. The author really stepped it up with this one. Quite a bit better than the first one (although the first one was pretty good too). His characters are so real; so down to earth that they could be your buddy, your coworker, or your idiot brother. The feelings of loss and desperation are like little islands that anchor them to reality when everything else in their lives are upended and harried. Thoroughly enjoyable. Exciting. Fantastic page-turner!

Another fun ride through the multiverse with unlikely heroes Chip, Pete, Bobo, et al. The ride included humor, science and fiction, Nikola Tesla, a supernatural/messianic sidekick(s) who likes to hump legs like a dog, and a cliff hanger of an ending featuring an evil bad guy set on destroying the multiverse. Can't wait for Part Three of the Rob Dircks homage to Tesla!
