Description
Time travel. Nobody really believes in it, but when Claire,
Gerald and Wally wake to find themselves trapped in a strange, glass dome, they're
forced to face the fact that a) it exists and b) there's stranger still to
come.
Lifted from a place of danger, somehow each have been
whisked through time to...here. Their one common memory before blacking out is
a silver globe spinning in the air, and when it reappears, a spirit life form
inhabiting the object is revealed. Axolear, their rescuer, tells of their parents,
who have been taken by the Nephilites, an alien race responsible for the
destruction of Axolear's kind. Now they have their sights set on earth and
Axolear seeks vengeance upon them, but needs the help of these three to do it.
He aims to bring about a confrontation with this evil empire
with only himself and the Remnant of his race. Determined to save their parents
- and now in spirit forms themselves - the three teens embark on this mission,
little knowing the pitfalls and catastrophes that lie in wait. And what about
Axolear - can they trust him? And if they don't, what worse events could be in
store?
A story of trust and keeping faith in someone even when it
seems the most illogical thing to do, The
Time Rescuers is a clever twist on a classic storyline of time travel,
alien abduction and intergalactic war! Readers aged 12+ will enjoy this
thrilling and emotionally-satisfying adventure.
