It's the summer of 1985, and ten-year-old Jeremy Roberts has made some new friends recently: Bill and Nora Hathaway, a... More > pleasant, if rather mysterious, middle-aged couple living in a big house by a lake. For Jeremy that house will become a refuge, a place in which he feels truly loved and wanted, unlike his own home. But the Hathaways are more than they seem. Very soon they will be embarking on a voyage into eternity, and will offer Jeremy a chance to come with them.

Four people in a small Southern town are about to discover what these machines can do. But they will also find themselves targets: unready marks of a criminal who knows well the clocks' abilities--and their potential for destruction. < Less

Retired high school history teacher George Swift has disappeared. Two of his former students, Tyler Weldon and Karen... More > Donnelly, are determined to find him. Their search will take them into a world of rogues and thieves, scholars and assassins, ancient maps and forgotten knowledge; a twilight realm where the line between history and legend grows thin, and dreams of a lost civilization beckon... < Less

Rain has come to Summerville, Georgia—but rain unlike anything this little town has seen before. It is rain that cannot...
