First sentence:
"I've always thought that the existence of Abraham Lincoln provided conclusive visual evidence that humans are descended from apes."
Description:
"There are strange happenings going on at Dactyl, Inc., the world's first and only time travel tourism company. So strange that Joe, a tour guide, is promoted to the new position of Chief of Probes. His first probe: find out who's been traveling back in time and torturing his boss in rather disturbing ways.
Joe finds himself catapulted from his dull life into a surreal journey where a blind hog-tying monkey is one of the sanest creatures he meets. Traveling through a past where the only thing that changes the present is death, while dealing with the fabric of space-time slowly unraveling. Joe stumbles into the middle of events that threaten both the Earth's future and past." -- from the back cover
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this weird and sometime confusing book about time travel, talking monkeys and tourism. I liked Joe's attempts to make sense of what's happening and his trying to figure out why two men, whom he calls Boogedy and Nibbles, keep appearing everywhere he goes.
