Grand Canyon, AZ - As the sun slowly rises in the east, a series of hissing sounds come out of a row of caves, to the west: three time capsules are opening up. Three young kids come out of them: twin brothers Sage and Scott, 12; and their sister, Sandy, who's 6 years to the day younger. These siblings haven't been able to speak to each other in 6,661 years, since the day they were put in very hi tech, simulated comas. They were put into their time capsules on the day of Sandy's 6th birthday, when a very violent, powerful, tremendous earthquake wiped out almost the entire human race. They are the very last survivors of all who were on planet Earth, on that day. Sandy, Sage and Scott will soon meet a robot named Hat. "Initials," they're told. "Host and teacher." Sandy giggles. But, there isn't much of anything at all to laugh at. Because what Hat is not able to warn them of, is that what happened on Sandy's 6th birthday is going to happen again. This, then, is the story of the Baker siblings' adventures, dreams, nightmares, and how they'll be able to escape planet Earth before what's destined to happen. And, too, how they'll be able to return to the day where it all began - on New Year's Day of the year 3338 - then, at last, how they'll all come back, to the first day of 9999 A.D "Post apocalyptic." - Bruce W. Miller Author of The Gabrielino and The Chumash: a Window of Their World "Phantasmagorical. Writing fiction offers both challenge and liberation. Pete rises to one, and revels in the other." - John Light Author of Death on Dorado, Children of Purgatory, The Enigmas of Hugo Lacklan
