Only if We Live and Reflective Time Jr John A Messmer

Only if We Live: While the sons and daughter of Amy and Chris were asleep, a strange flash of light appeared in the sky. They expected a normal day but they soon discovered something else. Their parents were missing without any explanation. None of the teenagers knew what to do. The only plausible course of action was to search for clues and then use their reasoning power to discover the truth. The only problem was that when they proceeded toward an answer, something unexpected happened. The beginning of the day repeated itself over and over again. They continued to awake in the morning with fragmented memories of their previous experiences, which hindered their efforts. Reflective Time: While the Librarian was training his new companion, problems were seen throughout the Universe. Instead of recording history, the computer brain was being used as a conduit for change. Statues were being torn down from one planet to the next. When historical perceptions changed, the heroes from the past were no longer needed with their flaws and racist tendencies. Many different kinds of intelligent creatures were revolting against the established order. Protests were occurring against social injustice. Waves of change were pounding the walls of normality for a new order. As the protests increased, violence escalated, not only from the protestors but also from the statues themselves.
