    About this ebook

    Porter is an established electrician in the Midwest, always keen to make a dollar and well known in the county. One day, the top brass at the local air-base request his help. When he arrives at the top secret underground lab facility, he finds out that the problem has only little to do with electricity. But there’s easy money to earn, so tries his best. Then the lights go out.

    When he awakes, over a hundred years have passed and his situation deteriorates with every minute, so he is put back to sleep and Porter goes on a ride of his life through the centuries as an eternal guinea pig.

    Until...
