The Chronological Man: The Monster in the Mist Review

This is the second of Mayne's novels I have read. After my first encounter (Public Enemy Zero) I vowed to read everything he had available. Mayne will never win a Pulitzer. His prose is not poetic or overwrought with literary inventions. His characters, while vivid, are not prone to long philosophical ruminations about their place in the universe. What Mr. Mayne writes is action/adventue and it is wholly enjoyable. Both of the novels I have read so far were action packed, streamlined, and hard to put down. While reading them you can easily see the silver screen versions they long to become. And don't be mislead by my earlier sentence, his writing is neither clumsy nor distracting. Instead it is pitch perfect for what he wants to accomplish.
What is also worth noting is Mr. Mayne's originality and diversity. Where PEZ took place in modern times, The Chronological Man... takes place in a 19th century Boston that is tinted with steampunk-esque edges. One reviewer likened the main character Smith to a Sherlocke Holmes / Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) mash up and I couldn't agree more. What separates the venerable Smith from these icons is the intense mystery that surrounds him. From the moment he bursts into the novel you become wrapped up in his mystery. How does he know so much; why is he over 80 y.o. yet appears to be 30? He himself becomes an eliptical problem like the ones he poses to his Assistant April Malone. And oh...April...how wonderful a character she is. Smart, sassy, funny, charming, and brave, she is the perfect grounded match for the eccentric Smith. Add in evil doctors, and my favorite beasty sucking people out of the thick fog of Boston, and the recipe comes out quite tasty.
The few complaints I had about Mr. Mayne's PEZ were no where to be found here. The glaring editorial errors were no where to be found, and the story was much more streamlined and sure-footed. Again, should Mr. Mayne continue to write at this pace, he will have found a lifetime fan with me.
