Publisher's summary

The thrilling second Chronological Man Adventure!

When a giant airship descends on New York City in 1892 and threatens destruction if the world doesn't submit to the Martian flag, it's up to the mysterious Smith, inventor and adventurer, to find out what forces are at work.

From the dangerous basement fan-tan parlors of Chinatown to the top of the Statue of Liberty's torch, Smith and his brilliant assistant, April Malone, will have to unravel the clues and avoid danger lurking behind every corner. To stop the menace they'll need to enlist the help of Theodore Roosevelt and other early 20th-century heroes.

The second book in The Chronological Man series, The Martian Emperor combines mystery, airship battles, and backroom Tammany Hall politics against the backdrop of a world on the verge of war.

Teddy Roosevelt Riding a White Rhino Down 5th Avenue

The further adventures of Smith and April Malone includes many improbable elements, including the Rough Rider himself, all woven together to create a story that kept me engaged through two airports in a cross country journey. Definitely worth the listen, and even better than the first book!

More please! 5 stars

Dear Andrew Mayne: Please continue this series! Thank you.

The main characters revealed a bit more of themselves in this second book in the series. Of course, it's just enough to drive you crazy and want more. I've enjoyed the scientific storylines (gadgets, aliens) and historical figures (Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Houdini). There is some darkness, for sure. On the other hand, the thought of a man riding a rhino to the rescue turned things around. It makes me think of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Inspector Gadget with a little MacGyver thrown in. Good times. The narrator, Kevin T. Collins, did a fantastic job with all manner of accents and character voices. I kept forgetting that one man was performing each and every part. Bravo! 5 stars, all around.
