Book Cover

In 2345 there is no war, no pollution, no disease, no crime--but utopia has a price. . .     A new young adult series: It is the year 2565, and an endangered semi-utopia "yanks" teens from the late 20th century to solve their problems. These teens were the heroes of the Troubled Times (in the early 21st century), and only they have the "grit" to stand up to the problems of 2565. This novel: Jason and Sharon are "yanked" into the 26th century to battle the Panurish, a group of grotesque humanoids with third, sky-scanning eyes. But facing an army of the Panurish might be a little more than even Jason and Sharon bargained for.     David Brin has written or contributed to a dozen works of fiction and science fiction, has a Ph.D. in astrophysics, and has been a professor and a NASA consultant.     Nancy Kress is the author of fourteen books of fantasy and science fiction, including both novels and short-story collections.
