Musings of a Nerd

By Lyle Mays

Albert is a nerd. He is brilliant and inventive, but he has a minimal social life until he becomes interested in college theater. There he meets China and begins to fall in love. After losing her briefly, they are reunited, and they agree to be married the next spring. In the meantime, China will finish her music degree, and Albert will pursue a graduate degree in Iceland.While in Iceland, Albert innovates for a project in geothermal energy. He studies Iceland's energy independence that accompanies its volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, hot springs, and plate tectonics. And he learns about this fascinating country, its people, its history, its food, and its culture.His cleverness leads to him rescuing a man, a woman, and a little girl from situations of peril, and discovering a mystery surrounding the deaths of 143 sheep and two men. To track down the cause of those deaths and hopefully prevent thousands more, Albert finds, examines, and explores a mysterious realm.Albert discovers the source and the culprit behind the threat and proposes a remedy, but first, Albert and China must face murderers, volcanoes, and poison gas. Before they can be married as planned, they must avoid being washed away by a rogue wave, climb a mountain to escape an erupting volcano, and outsmart a murderous kidnapper.
