To many readers 'Professor Jhomlu' is not an alien, neither are his strange inventions and even stranger adventurous expeditions. In fact, the writer claims to learn about all this from emails written and sent to him by the Professor himself. And that is exactly when you are assured that you are reading not another copy work of 'Professor Shonku' of Satyajit Ray, or any of Muhammad Zafar Iqbal's crazy scientists. In fact, the writer tells us that he has never even met Prof Jhomlu in person, but everything about him is very real – which makes the works of the professor even more intriguing.

The Professor Jhomlu Series, along with the main story, has a bonus of three shorter stories- 'The Tree-Talkie', 'Tiny Invention', and 'The Cow Incident'.

Just when you think you've already read all possible adventures a man can go through in a lifetime, the 'Expedition to Sky-Cave' happens that even startles the Professor himself! At one point he reaches the 'limit' and the question of quitting half way arises, but you know him, the danger actually allures him more to see what awaits at the end of the adventure.

Plus what should he worry about? He has all his inventions and gadgets to save him from all sorts of dangers! Or maybe not?
