In books 5-8 Andrew is trapped inside a submarine and explores the ocean. In books 9-12 Andrew is sent back in time.

Andrew Lost; March 6, 2006:

Andrew Lost is a children's book series written by J. C. Greenburg (started in 2002). It's about a boy called Andrew Dubble who creates inventions that rarely work the way he expects them to. As of yet there are 13 books in the series, each 4 books being part of a story.

Characters

 * Andrew Dubble - Andrew is the main character of the series. He is ten years old; he apparently comes from a wealthy family, because they can afford their own helicopter and Andrew travells to various places in the world periodically. Andrew loves to invent things. He invented The Atom Sucker in books 1-4 and the Goa Constrictor in books 13-16. Usually his inventions go awry, resulting in a series of books where Andrew is constantly trying to set things right again.


 * Judy Dubble - Judy is Andrew's 13-year-old cousin. Although she doesn't like Andrew very much, she is usually stuck with him and is with him for most of the story.


 * THUDD - Thudd is a robot that was given to Andrew by his Uncle Al for his seventh birthday. Thudd is small enough to fit inside Andrew's pocket. Thudd talks in a squeaky voice and his sentances are always preceded by a "meep" noise. Thudd knows everything and constantly pointing out scientific facts to Andrew and Judy. Judy is not always tolerant of Thudd's superior knowledge, and once threatened to take out his batteries if he wouldn't stop talking. Thudd's one rule is that he must never get wet.


 * Uncle Al - Andrew's uncle is a scientist who probably has invented more things than Andrew has. He sometimes treats his nephew Andrew to various gadgets (including Thudd). Uncle Al usually has a role in the plot of the story, but is not usually present while Andrew, Judy, and Thudd are off having an adventure.


 * Doctor Kron-Tox - Doctor Kron-Tox is an evil scientist who is trying to build an amusement park out of exotic animals. His methods for capturing the animals is not usually enviromentally-friendly. He isn't introduced until book #8 and doesn't appear until book #12.

Books 1-4
The first book, Andrew Lost on the Dog begins just after Andrew has finished build the Atom Sucker. He is testing it when he accidentally shrinks himself, Judy, Thudd, and a helicopter to the size of a dust mite. He and Judy are inhaled by a neighborhood dog named Harvey and become trapped inside its nose. They manage to climb out, and they try to contact Uncle Al using an emergency purple button on Thudd. They wait and don't recieve an answer. Andrew points out that if they don't reach the Atom Sucker before 8:01 PM, it will blow up and Andrew and Judy will be tiny forever. They decide to start climbing up the dog's head in hopes of reaching its ear, where they believe they saw their helicopter. But before they get to the top, Harvey wakes up and starts rolling around in the garbage. His owner, a grumpy neighbor, yells at Harvey for making a mess and takes him - with Andrew, Judy and Thudd on him - inside for a bath.

The second books, Andrew Lost in the Bathroom begins here. While Harvey's owner is wresling Harvey into the bath, Andrew and Judy fall off his body. Before Andrew falls into the water in the bathtub, he manages to blow up his Umbubble, a kind of bubble gum that can be blown big enough to accomodate a person (another of Andrew's inventions). Unfortunately, Andrew accidentally gets Thudd wet, something Uncle Al has warned Andrew never to do. Thud starts telling sheep jokes, then he falls asleep. Andrew crawls inside the giant bubble where he can keep Thudd from getting wetter. Soon he locates Judy, and helps her inside the Umbubble. But at that moment, the bathtub is drained and they narrowly escape falling down the drain. At this point, Uncle Al makes contact with Andrew and Judy via Thudd's emergency purple button, and tells them to put grease on Thudd and get him warm in order to fix the damage. He also says that if Thudd starts telling elephant jokes, the condition is getting serious. But soon they lose contact again because of Thudd's condition. Andrew and Judy find out how to use an empty pen canister to blow out of and use to steer the Umbubble. They start floating around the bathroom, but before they manage to escape, Harvey pooes on the floor. When Harvey's owner usues toilet paper to flush the poo down the toilet, she accidentally flushes Andrew, Judy, and Thudd down the toilet as well.

The third book, Andrew Lost in the Kitchen begins here. While Andrew and Judy go through the plumbing inside the Umbubble, Thudd starts telling elephant jokes, signifying that his condition is getting worse. They manage to go out the drain of the kitchen sink. Unfortunately, the Unbubble collides with the green part of a tomato and pops, leaving Andrew and Judy on the tomato. Andrew tries to follow Uncle Al's instruction for Thudd: To get some grease on him and warm him up. They reach the butter, and Andrew puts some of it on Thudd. Then Andrew gets Thudd on some toast, making him "toasty warm". After this, they hitch a ride on a housefly, which carries them to the garden outside.

The fourth book, Andrew Lost in the Garden, begins. While trying to reach the Atom Sucker before 8:01 PM, they have encounters with lots of insects and microorganisms in the garden. They manage to find their helicopter, and they fly to the Atom Sucker and unshrink themselves, just as Uncle Al shows up.

Unfortunately, they accidentally go back too far and end up three minutes after the big bang. They quickly go forwards in time.

They stop in the Carboniferous period and rescue a boy named Beeper, the nephew of Doctor Kron-Tox, who had been stranded there by his uncle.

Tachyons in fiction
In the Star Trek fictional universe, tachyons are among the fictitious or hypothetical particles frequently invoked in treknobabble, often as a deus ex machina used to maintain the plot. Tachyons are frequently invoked to explain some aspect of the Romulan cloaking device. Cloaked ships have been detected by watching them pass through a tachyon beam, essentially creating a faster-than-light burglar alarm. Ships using imperfect cloaking devices are also implied to produce residual tachyon emissions, such as in the film Star Trek: Nemesis. Finally, in the film Star Trek: Insurrection, ships fire "tachyon pulses" at one another, disrupting the targets' "shield harmonics" and thereby allowing transport through the shields.

...

In the Korean version of MapleStory, items called tachyons are required to complete a certain high-level quest.

In Red Dwarf, a reference to tachyons is made to describe the form in which a holoship is able to travel as super-light particles through wormholes and stargates.

In the children's series Andrew Lost by J. C. Greenburg, tachyons are said to power the Time-a-tron in books 9-12.
