Description:

Meet Dr. Newton Barlow, a charismatic scientist whose world is about to be turned upside down. Picture Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's "Good Omens" mingled with the wit of Christopher Moore, and you've got "The Unhappy Medium." Dr. Barlow seemed to have it all: a renowned career in the lab and on TV, a glamorous wife by his side, and an unshakable belief that the supernatural was nothing more than outright lies and wishful thinking. But life has a funny way of humbling even the most self-assured of individuals, and Barlow's reckoning is about to unfold. Accused of fraud and shunned by the scientific community, Barlow finds himself stripped of his fame, expelled from the family home, and cast out from his once lofty perch. Three despair-filled years pass, drowning his sorrows in wine, until an unexpected glimmer of hope emerges. Dr. Sixsmith, Barlow's equally skeptical mentor, approaches him with an extraordinary proposition and with nothing left to lose, Barlow has little choice but to accept. There's just one tiny, itsy-bitsy obstacle standing in his way—Sixsmith is dead. In a desperate bid to save both this world and the next, can Dr. Barlow set aside his cherished beliefs and confront the impossible? Brace yourself for a raucous rollercoaster ride through the realms of life, death, and that peculiar bit in between. If you're a fan of Douglas Adams' zany humor, Terry Pratchett's fantastical worlds, or the imaginative tales of Tom Holt, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jim Butcher, then "The Unhappy Medium" is an absolute must-read. Bursting with unforgettable characters, a gripping mystery, heart-pounding action, and sidesplitting humor, this book has it all. If you're ready for a journey that will tickle your funny bone and captivate your imagination, then "The Unhappy Medium" is your ticket to an uproarious good time. Duration - 15h 47m. Author - T. J.
