Overview

A diminutive genius meets a quixotic charmer and convinces him that a little cooperation in collecting some special items will help him rediscover love and his enthusiasm for life. Ron Maddock commits himself to a high stakes scavenger hunt that carries him through the boundaries of time and reality. Historically accurate settings are trivially tweaked in order to briefly expose a twenty-first century Ron Maddock to the pleasures and perils of the past. Romance and adventure are his equally demanding masters as he struggles to cope with challenges that neither modern science nor spirituality can explain.

About the Author, Mike Corbett

Mike Corbett is known as a competitive game player around the world. Along with his participation in backgammon, tennis, scrabble, and poker tournaments, he adds lecturing and contributions to periodicals to his impressive résumé. His name has been on the worldwide list “Giants of Backgammon” for many years, and his excellent analyses have been translated into many languages. Mike Corbett’s first book “Backgammon Problems” written in 2007, is already considered a must-have for serious backgammon players. The positive feedback from an international array of grateful readers inspired Mike to focus his cerebral observations and scalding wit in another direction. "Laughter of the Damned" and "Mr. Nachron’s List" are intended to satisfy his faithful supporters while recruiting a few new ones.
