About This Book

A gruff bodyguard nicknamed Monk recounts guarding a brilliant, prankish physicist whose experiments in matter transference suddenly produce life-size prehistoric replicas and other museum exhibits around the city. Media spectacle and official outrage follow as the technology is deployed to stage political theater against an anti‑science mayor, revealing that enormous objects can be instantaneously cast from elsewhere. The comic account traces the logistics and fallout of using a startling invention as publicity and persuasion, and it probes the ethical slipperiness when scientific ingenuity becomes a tactical instrument in electoral conflict.
