Publisher's Synopsis
Mix-ups and misperceptions prevail when the brain patterns of Crystal Milbury Scott, a tourist from the year 2124, are accidentally transmitted to Clipper, a Boston Terrier living in 1972 Cheddar, Indiana. If this isn't bad enough, Crystal's human body lies dead in the New Cheese Temporal Adventures facility. The sociopath behind this mishap, Comstock Scott, is Crystal's husband and the director of New Cheese. She knows too much and has to die. When time travel technicians discover that Crystal's brain patterns survived they send her son to find her by transmitting his brain patterns to a brain dead woman known in 1972 as Weird Edna. As soon as he finds his mother they fall into the clutches of a shotgun wielding nut job, who wants to keep Weird Edna as a slave. Before they can escape, Crystal is dognapped by a scheming 11-year-old. Learning that his wife's mind lives on, Comstock Scott takes control of a second brain dead host in 1972. He's determined to find Crystal and kill her host body, silencing her once and for all. Crystal will need to use her new canine wits to overcome all twentieth century obstacles and escape her husband before she can return to 2124, preferably in human form. "Russell's imagination kicks into overdrive as time traveler Crystal Milbury's visit to 1972 small-town Indiana goes awry, with her emergence as a dog sparking wacky complications. With plot development evoking the world of farce, the ensuing chaos provides a delightful read." Critic's Report, The BookLife Prize in Fiction.
