The Adventure Begins
Herman Somnambula, PhD, isn't your average scientist. He dances to his own beat, wears a lab coat that's seen better days, and has just finished his most "electrifying" invention yet: a working time machine.
Along with his best friend Rusty McNutt — a man who never met a bowl of haggis he didn't like — Herman is ready to change the world. But there's a problem. Skip McDougal, a jealous weekend weatherman with a grudge dating back to the third-grade science fair, has a plan of his own.
With one shove from a burgundy-suited villain, Herman and Rusty are kicked through a wormhole and spat out into the past. The good news? They've reached the beautiful Roman city of Pompeii. The bad news? The date is August 24, 79 AD.
Will they run out of time?
