À propos de cet audio
For love
For legacy.
FOR SCIENCE!
Maxim Volt worked very hard NOT to become the local madman.
He didn’t plot doom upon his enemies (even when they deserved it).
He didn’t stitch together monsters with parts 'recycled' from the local graveyard.
Why, he barely allowed himself a maniacal laugh or two!
And yet, he still somehow ended up getting kicked out of university, banished from the family estate, and inheriting a decrepit castle high in the mountains of Eastern Europe, complete with a spooky but devoted maid. And on top of that, he finds himself caring for an injured werewolf girl, reuniting with his manic yandere lab assistant, and gathering allies to fight a mechanized industrialist looking to usurp him.
Because while he might not be mad, he is the master of Grimmwald Castle. And no one’s taking that or the women who love him without a fight.
©2024 Jay Aury (P)2025 Royal Guard Publishing LLCThe book itself has a pretty simple plot and largely likeable characters. Our main character is a remarkably well adjusted mad scientist who's been disowned and suddenly finds himself inheriting a castle and its gremlins from distant relatives - and finds himself in the crosshairs of an industrialist rail baron who wants to seize control of the valley. On the way, he gets involved with two women, with others waiting to swoop in. And all of it with a ton of larger-than-life characters, all eccentric and fun.
My main problem with the book is simple: there's no real conflict. Nothing is ever very hard for the main character. He's simply better than the several enemies he makes in the book, and so is his science. It makes the whole thing feel a little hollow. Do I regret buying the book? No - anything by Jay Aury is going to be good, and this one was a ton of fun. But it's unlikely to be the kind of book I come back to again and again.
A fun, silly adventure in mad science
