Connor is a young inventor, haunted by nightmares of terrible, impossible machines. Six months have passed since he fled his home to escape a conspiracy aiming to bury his greatest invention. This wondrous machine, simply called The Device, was drawn from his dreams and is capable of bringing the fictional through to our world. The potential it holds is nearly limitless, and so is the danger it presents. Now, with a safe haven established and old wounds beginning to heal, Connor turns his sights outward. With the help of Senarie, a fantasy princess The Device summoned from another world, he seeks to use his invention to help people in need. However, when a straightforward humanitarian mission goes disastrously wrong, Connor is confronted with the damning question: what is the price of progress, and who must pay it in the end?
The Price of Progress is the sequel to the award-winning novel, The Nightmare Schematic, by Canadian author Kyle Bentley, and the second book in The Age of Entropy series.
