Vaz is the story of Vaz Gettnor, a socially impaired yet scientifically brilliant man. Despite his inability to relate to others, Lisanne married him in admiration of what she perceived as shy intelligence. However, she's been disappointed by the way he's settled for working as no more than a glorified lab tech with a low salary.

Adding to their problems, Vaz and Lisanne have two teenagers who are typically surly and embarrassed by their parents, but whom they want to send to college - if only they can find the money. When Vaz is fired from his job as a researcher but then discovers a means to achieve cold fusion, a technology that could solve the energy crisis and their financial difficulties, virtually no one believes him, least of all his family. In fact the only people who do believe are the ones who are trying to steal the technology from him....

Liked the plot tie ins from beginning to end & Vaz’s humble nature in contrast to his intellectual & physical prowess. Disliked the over emphasis on that power being the source of all the families blessings; would have preferred greater recognition of the others contributions- leaves a slight sense of “showy” or false humility. Still a very good read, Thank you Lawrence👍🏼👍🏼

Family cohesion & support.

I really liked the character of vaz. he had wit and charm and had a sense of wonder about his research that was very appealing. As a result there was a lot of nerd speak in this book discussing technical details that were just blah, blah, blah to me. however I did not find this detracted from the story.
What did make me sad was the ending which became a good guy vs bad guy trope. I would have liked less guns and more story, even if it was more nerd speak.

interesting

I am a picky listener. If a book doesn’t hook me, I usually can’t get through it. This one surprised me! I got hooked and couldn’t stop.

Couldn’t put it down
