Publisher Description

Then came a long period I don't remember much about. I only remember sitting in the classroom one day, a day that seemed to last forever, like my life was never changing. It was driving me crazy. I put my head down on the table, pretending to sleep, and then the room grew really quiet. When I looked around, nobody was there.

Thinking the bell might have rung and I hadn't heard it, I stood up and walked out. But the hallway was empty, too. In fact, the whole school was empty. I wandered past lockers and the door to the gym and then stumbled out a side door and found myself in the middle of a deserted city.

"Hey, where is everybody!" I yelled, but my voice was lost in the emptiness.

.............

Meet Lewis Fuller, a simple kid with no idea of what's at stake or how to fix anything. Just having arrived in the future, he's got a lot of catching up to do.

Dr. Tarkentower had plans of changing the world forever. Tired of seeing so much pain in the eyes of his patients, he quit his job at the hospital and created a vast machine that could control time itself. From there, he put the whole earth into a loop, repeating the same day over and over.

Each day his machine picks a few people who go forward in time, escaping the loop, living on a future planet that is not so crowded. It sounds like the perfect solution.

But people stuck in the loop are slowly going insane. As they arrive in the future, they bring with them a world of chaos. Lewis has to find Tarkentower's machine and turn it off to save the future. And to pull that off, he's going to need a lot of help.

"There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place."—Banksy
