by Christopher Meeks

Overview

Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Finalist
"Highly recommended!" - Midwest Book Review
"The book is a hilarious read! - BookGeeks (UK)
"Laugh-out-loud funny!" -author Darcie Chan

"Love at Absolute Zero" is romance about Gunnar Gunderson, a 32-year-old star physicist at the
University
of Wisconsin who's determined to meet his soul mate within three days using the Scientific Method. As he channels his inner salmon for speed dating, he accidentally steps on the toes of a visiting Danish schoolteacher--and his life turns upside down.

"As if Einstein didn't struggle hard enough failing at a unified field theory," says Philip Persinger, author of 'Do The Math', "Meeks ups the ante by tossing philosophy, anthropology, hashish, and love (with a capital L) into the mix. And while we're so sorry, Uncle Albert, in 'Love At Absolute Zero,' Meeks succeeds absolutely."

Editorial Reviews

Red Adept Reviews - Jim Chambers

"As engaging as it is amusing, 'Love at Absolute Zero' is, ultimately, a heartfelt study of the tension between the head and heart, science and emotion, calculation and chance."

Amazon Top-Ten Reviewer - Grady Harp

"It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson. As he progresses from one disaster or near miss to the next, one views him with a mixture of compassion and laughter, but he is such a good-hearted young man that it is impossible not to root for him." -Sam Sattler also placed it in Top Ten Best Fiction 2011
