Tempest
The lost island of Atlantis has returned—and humanity’s survival hangs by a thread.
Missing for millennia, the Oblivion Order’s most secret scientific base returns without warning, its experimental gravity engine unleashing catastrophic ripples through time and space. As the island’s uncontrolled presence begins to destabilise the moon’s orbit, the Earth inches closer to a fatal collision with the Sun.
Only their most elite time travellers can prevent global extinction. But salvation requires an unlikely partnership with the Syndicate, a dark guild that’s always operated outside the Order’s rigid rules.
With the moon’s trajectory shifting and global panic mounting, a desperate race against time begins. Some will fight to preserve humanity’s existence, while others have plans that run deeper than survival.
The seventh book in the bestselling Infinity Engines series, this twisting time travel adventure explores how the smallest actions can unravel—or remake—the entire universe.

It has been a while since reading the previous books in this series but I do believe I enjoyed this one more than the others ... well except for maybe lol..
Silas is probably the best timerunner ever born. It's too bad he is the product of parents that have made him into a criminal. When he is finally captured and taken to the prison where escape is impossible and where every day inside is equal to several months, Silas makes a request to see the Colonel. From that visit, a wild journey begins that if successful, will save the planet.
Easy peasy right.. find a floating disappearing island. Track down the scientist whose experiments are throwing the earth out of its orbit. Travel to Mars billions of years in the past. Just another day in The Order. Very enjoyable even if the Brits don't use the letter Z or add the extra U =)

Love this series. The storyline comes together with an exciting ending. I highlighted about 8 grammar errors (like missing periods at the ends of sentences). That's the only reason I gave it a 4 rather than 5.
