Description
What happens when you die, but the universe isn’t done with you? You might end up as the pet of a giant worm-a-pede alien and…if you survive your evolved descendants and rogue aliens of 1 million A.D…discover you have more in common with intelligent worms than you ever thought possible. Yes, all this might
happen if you are Albert Rudyard Goldstein—the discoverer of the Biomic Network Algorithm—who thought his time had come. He had done his part to make the world a better place. Now he deserved—even looked forward to—a peaceful and mercifully succinct death. But the universe had other plans...
A Note From the Publisher
Author/illustrator, Gary Raham, loves to bring science alive—especially paleontology—through his writing and illustrating work. He has written (and in some cases illustrated) 19 titles of science fact and/or science fiction. He writes science columns for The North Forty News and Colorado Gardener Magazine and serves as Assistant Editor for Trilobite Tales, the newsletter of the Western Interior Paleontological Society. Kirkus describes his most recent title, Confessions of a Time Traveler (Penstemon Publications, 2015) as “A welcome excursion for pop-sci fans featuring a number of striking artworks.”
Raham has written for Cricket, Highlights for Children, Discovery Channel Books, Good Neighbor Press, Chelsea House, Marshall-Cavendish, Teacher Ideas Press, Fulcrum and other publishers. He has illustrated for Grolier, Inc., Oxford University Press, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the City of Fort Collins.
The book will be offered in a Kindle version, in addition to the print version.

Advance Praise
Author/Astronomical Illustrator, Michael Carroll provided the following endorsement:
Like his character Myra, Gary Raham has a “quirky sense of humor”. But his characters are drawn with sensitivity and craft. From a planetary intelligence who finds companionship and learns humility, A Once-Dead Genius is filled with fascinating characters that we humans can learn a lot from (despite the fact that we are, as one of Gary’s characters puts it, “primates with delusions of grandeur”). In a “harsh and precocious universe,” this is refreshing. The plot is solid, the action entertaining and philosophically challenging, and the science is great.
Gary Raham’s latest novel, A once-Dead Genius in the Kennel of Master Morticue Ambergrand, is a cleverly constructed commentary on scientific concepts of our time, ranging from Artificial Intelligence to evolution to machine logic, with a good dose of philosophy thrown in with care and craft.
