Many may think that this book is just another story about a crazy inventor in a cluttered garage who comes up with a way to travel through time. In the beginning, that's what it seems like... And then everything is turned upside down when Shane Oakley's sister dies in a horrible accident. Shane is determined to finish his time machine in order to go back and save her. Then he gets a phone call. "I want a time machine. One that works." "I haven't gotten one to work yet." "Then you had better make one work very soon. Unless you'd like to bury your sister again"..."Your sister is not dead, Oakley. In fact, she is quite alive, and I would say well, but that would be a lie"..."Now, my terms are simple. Build me a working time machine before August tenth, or your sister dies." from there the relentless pace builds, gradually rising to a boiling point of thrilling suspense. This book was a wild ride of thrills, scares, adventure, and even romance. Not your typical time travel story-far from it. It's a story no one should miss.
