Outcasts of Time

Casa editrice: Long Story Publishing, LLC

Sinossi

The first year of college can be pretty demanding, especially for Simon Foxx, a socially inept photographer for the school’s newspaper, whose only real strength is the courage of curiosity; so, when he wakes up one autumn morning to discover the End of the World already in progress, what is he to do? Take pictures, of course! But when his curiosity—and his camera—rescue a remarkably bitter young woman from a fate worse than death, she allows him to tag along with her during a fantastic escape—into Earth’s past!
 
Can they survive each other as well as the challenges of worlds that ceased to exist long before their own lifetimes? Can they figure out what happened to the world of the future—and more importantly, find a way to fix it?
 
Armed only with wit, courage, a cell phone, and a sketch book, it is up to Simon and Kasey to accomplish the improbable with odds a little worse than impossible. But will Fate, or the Malevolent Universe, allow them to succeed? Or will it punish them for tinkering with the fabric of the cosmos and banish them to the very Edge of Time?
