When the Waker Sleeps
When the Waker Sleeps | Ron Goulart
1 post | 1 read
You've heard of the mad scientist's daughter? Well, Nat Kobean made the mistake of taking a pass at the mad scientist's beautiful wife ... and thereby became a guinea pig for Dr. Dumper's Dose. The dose was a serum that would enable one to travel into the future by naps of fifty years duration. The unsolved part of the experiment was that the sleepers would only stay awake a limited time before falling asleep again for another half century. So when Nat woke up fifty years later he had to act fast to find an antidote. But an antidote in a world so changed was a problem that took too much time to locate. So it was back to sleep and up again and back to sleep and up again .... And what kept happening to the world while the Waker slept makes Ron Goulart's new novel, a mad, mad version of the Wellsian classic of when the Sleeper wakes.

Nat Kobean gets caught sleeping with another man's wife. Too bad for Nat, the husband is a scientist whose current project is a serum that allows patients to travel into the future by taking naps, during which patients do not age. Now every time he falls asleep Nat wakes up fifty years later. I'm not a fan of Goulart's broad humor, and his ethnic and homophobic jokes haven't aged well. At least there are fewer boob jokes than usual in this one.
