About the Book

Henry Haddock discovers a mysterious space center established by alien space robots.

He trisects an angle, he proves Fermat’s Last Theorem (not really), and almost singlehandedly

defeats most of the robots he encounters.

No space aliens, humans or robots were hurt during the writing of this book.  Along the way

interesting little internet tidbits are revealed.  E.g. the location of free electronic math journals, where

to obtain the free tools to program Apple Quicktime on the internet.  Other useful tidbits are

revealed about the windows operating system.

There are interesting classroom discussions about math programs, the new economy, and computers.

The students and the teachers have startling interactions.

The characters than take it to the street.  Henry has to constantly stay on his toes.  Some of his

allies are not that friendly.  Only his constant ingenuity keeps him one step ahead of the game.

The book is not wordy.  It is fun filled and action packed.
