The two “farmers,” their minions, a new detective, and the folks of Turingsburg County experience the excitement, danger, and fun of experiments pushed to the limit! A runway experiment causes an unwanted media sensation and brings a group of Bigfoot hunters to Turingsburg. Now both farmers need to play along and try to “act normal” until they can contain the situation. Henry White and Radcliff Green both seem like your typical farmers. But beneath that façade, these rivals are secretly brilliant scientists, dedicated to exploring and controlling the secrets of nature and technology!

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it's a prank, not an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced (if bumbling) extraterrestrials. And boy, do they have news. The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on humanity's music ever since "Year Zero" (1977 to us), when American pop songs first reached alien ears. This addiction has driven a vast intergalactic society to commit the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang.

When the technology for twisting to other probability patterns was developed, a grateful Earth solved its overcrowding by sending people to live on Earths where plants and animals never got started. Each family could have its own planet, because there was an infinite number of such alt-Earths available, and the computers never assigned the same one twice. Trouble was - someone else had the same idea!

Resumen del Editor
In Endangered Species, part of the Mildly Mad series of inter-connected adventures, the two “farmers”, their minions, new detective, and the folks of Turingsburg County experience the excitement, danger, and fun of experiments pushed to the limit! Farmer Radcliff Green falls for the mysterious Raven Black. It is up to his rival Henry White to save him from himself.
Just one more day of misadventures of living in a small town. Henry White and Radcliff Green both seem like your typical old “Middle of Nowhere” farmers. But beneath the façade of Midwestern American homesteading, these two rivals are secretly brilliant (and wild!) scientists, dedicated to exploring and controlling the secrets of nature and technology. White and Green both have hidden labs beneath their farms, and an ever-evolving collection of remarkable robots, cyborgs, super-plants, gadgets, supercomputers, and more!
Both for entertainment and education a State of the Science (SOS) Article on Genetics/Cloning is included. This is to help increase the listeners' STEM education and bridge science fiction to reality.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

When the technology for twisting to other probability patterns was developed, a grateful Earth solved its overcrowding by sending people to live on Earths where plants and animals never got started. Each family could have its own planet, because there was an infinite number of such alt-Earths available, and the computers never assigned the same one twice. Trouble was - someone else had the same idea!
