Produktbeschreibung

In the sound bite era, morpheme addiction flies below the radar of speech pathology. Enter Phono-morph specialist Randal Poe, dedicated to treating the tics of the itty-bitty utterance until he meets his match in Claudia Roget who claims to be a trans-gendered lexicologist who for four-hundred years has hunted her uncle, Dughall, who she insists will destroy the world by stealing lexemes from the Time continuum.
Claudia may be crazy, but love too is a form of madness, and Randal cannot abide without her. Together they search for the uncle in the Boroughs of Manhattan and through the Whorls of Time, or are these sequences the subconscious rationale for eerie events of time and place that spiral toward a vortex of history redefined? Then, before his eyes, Claudia vanishes.
Her disappearance is orchestrated by Renaissance scholar Norse Charlton, onetime lover of Randal's patient Dr. Wallis Fordham when she was a man. Foregoing the doctor-patient relationship, Randal and Wallis search for Claudia, but when the hunters become the hunted and things are not what they seem, the only thing that can save them is their love of language in Chronicle of an English Morpheme Addict.
