Another book which looked interesting and wasn't. Some great lines, although rare they are. I kept wondering where the story was going. Then I started wondering where I was going by continuing to read the novel.
I did read it.
Never got anywhere.
At least not anywhere interesting.

Part of LibriVox Short Science Fiction Collection 048. Excellent farce about an archetypal inventor and an attempt to scoop a horse race prize.

Fun story! I enjoyed this one for the technology and for the story of the Vaudeville style traveling salesman.
