Description
How many times does a genius have to die anyway? Rudyard Albert Goldstein, inventor of the Biomic Network algorithm, asked himself—and his AI guardian, Mnemosyne (aka Nessie)—that question many times in the course of their million-year relationship. Nessie didn’t play fair, making multiple copies of him from time to time in an effort to preserve his precocious species, H. sapiens from natural disasters, invading aliens, their own self-destructive proclivities, and even from the now angry planet that gave them birth.
Could Rudy & Nessie manage to convince multiple species, each with their own unique delusions of grandeur, to work together to avert their own extinctions? Could Rudy find a way to let Nessie finally set him free?
Only time—and the completion of an even vaster intellect—would tell.

"5.0 out of 5 stars" — Michael W Carroll
"Gary Raham's newest time-bending and mind-bending adventure! Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023
I’ve been a fan of Gary Raham’s writing ever since I took a wild romp through his A Once-Dead Genius in the Kennel of Master Morticue Ambergrand. Deep Time and Gary are close buddies, as is evidenced by the panoramic time and physical settings taken in by his tales. Fans of the first Once-Dead Genius—and newcomers as well—will not be disappointed by the newest installment, called Not Quite Geniuses, At Large on an Angry Planet. Here, the reader will find the same refreshing perspectives and entertaining tone, along with some old friends (poor time-enslaved Rudyard “Rudy” Goldstein, the grand Nessie) and new ones. Among the new ones, Raham reveals entirely new species of life across the cosmos, which is one of his strong points as a creative author. Raham ramps up the tension with the prospect of a new, bigger, and perhaps darker intelligence, but that’s a story for the reader to discover! Geology? History? Culture? Extraterrestrial life? Time Travel? It’s all there to entertain, inform and challenge us. Highly recommended. " — Michael W Carroll
“An increasingly madcap conclusion to an eco-themed SF saga of a weary Earth chafing under its alien tenants.”— Kirkus Reviews
"One of the things I love about this series is the cast of imaginative characters, including human, alien, and the combinations of living creatures with the surviving intelligence of great minds long gone." — Pat Stoltey, author of Wishing Caswell Dead
