The Timetable: the Adventure Begins...a Rollercoaster of Tension, Romance, Conflict... Pat Holand

A powerful tale of the intriguing journey of four California adolescents and one very compelling dog as they discover truths about a devastated planet, the civilization that barely survivied, a young civilization just getting started, and two other civilizations insatiate for power. The loss experienced by individuals, and by the civilization is moving. The changes that occur in these four teenagers lives is tantalizing, dangerous, and at times heartwarming. The dog Arf whom I would argue to be the most pivotal character created the fabric to hold this incredible odyssey together and to inspire the collective brilliance of these four young heroes and heroines to survivie a mission even while struggling with their own personal drama. Back at home, the families of these five cosmonauts uncover a secret danger that threatens every sentient population that calls earth home. Review by Abacus Science.com
