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 went hungrily after this book after I had exhausted both the Hyllis family series and the Worlds of Ryn Wilkie series. As with every Dahner book I've read I loved this action packed, revenge of the nerds story. Vaz is clearly neurodivergent and is simply frustrated with neurotypical society and is also a man who wants to protect his home and family. He just happens to be a genius who is taken advantage of by the employer he trusts. An employer, I noted, that doesn't seem to realize you can only push people so far.

I am looking forward to the rest of this series.

A fast moving novel of both science and action
