           "This is sure to be a classic and I fully expect to see the world of Nuldoid carry on for a very long time to come. I myself am excited to read more."
                      —Michael Wolper
                    
Los Angeles

           "This book is an absolute treasure, a story that would be great fun to read to one's children over the course of many late-night bedtime storytelling sessions. Who knew that such delightful little creatures, full of quarrels and bad grammar, could exist? The world beneath the surface of Earth is full of wondrous things, all detailed with vivid awe. The story is unpredictable, which makes it that much more of an adventure to read..."

           "I finished Nuldoid last night, and I have to say I loved it. It is probably one of the most fun books I have read in a long time."

       "What a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down and as soon as I turned the last page I flipped it right back to the front and read it again. Loved it! The creatures of Nuldoid are so original and entertaining in their behavior, outlook on life and death, and especially their speech patterns, not to mention a great story that there is no way this book won't become the next Harry Potter. I'm anxiously awaiting a sequel."

                                                   Chapter One

RAMPA WORST WAS old and dying of something old people die of, which was just fine with everyone and, surprisingly, even fine with him. What was not fine with everyone was that he had something he wanted to tell his grandchildren, and he was determined to tell them if it was the last thing he ever did… which it probably would be.

      He had been very successful in his long life and made a great deal of money. Scads of money. In fact, by the 2060s he was considered one of the richest men in Northern California. He lived in an enormous house with a long, sweeping driveway, tons of rooms and bathrooms, even a wine cellar that he had converted to a beer cellar. But few people knew anything about him—anything important that is—least of all, the people closest to him, like his wife, who wasn’t around anymore because she was dead. Or his daughter, who wasn’t dead but didn’t care to be around because he had always been such a sour and disagreeable old man (that one could always have been an old man might seem odd, but in Grampa Worst’s case, even when he was young, he was old).     
     “Oh my,” said his daughter, when he insisted she bring her three children to his bedside so that he could tell them about the Wheel of Nuldoid. “The wheel of what?” his daughter asked with grave concern because she was beginning to suspect that her father was not as in touch with reality as perhaps he once was.    
     “The Wheel of Nuldoid!” he said a little louder than he needed to, and then started coughing and hacking and, well, flatulating, all at the same time. It was a rather unpleasant sight. And sound. And smell.    
     “The wheel of what?” the daughter’s husband asked in the car on the way home from Grampa’s house. 
     “Nuldoid,” she said. “He says he wants to tell the children the story of Nuldoid.”
     “What’s a Nuldoid?”
     “I don’t know. But he wants to tell them about it before he dies.”
     “So, he’s lost his mind?”
     “Well, he’s getting near the end. And, it’s possible he’s not thinking as clearly as he once did.”
      “Right.”
     Neither the old man’s daughter nor her husband knew for sure if Grampa had truly slipped off the tether that binds us to what’s real, but an argument was made that he was indeed the children’s grandfather, and therefore deserved an audience of his grandchildren before, well, before the end.

            "I bought this book on the recommendation of my son's 4th grade teacher, as she said we both would like it. She was right! Hilarious and clever, this book was so much fun reading together with my son. You will use your imagination in a great way, you will have no choice. How the author created a whole group of people with language, customs and all their indiosyncrasies is amazing. The thing that stands out most with this book was how a fantasy world was created in conjuction with our own real world. Waiting for the sequel and the movie!!!"

               "I love the unpredictability and belligerence of the Nuldoids, and am amused by the religously conspiratory ways of the Oidenoids. This is one of the best and most flavorful books I've ever read. Hib nobb del noid!
