Get ready for a YA time travel
adventure that will have the hours flying by!
Untimed, author Andy Gavin’s latest
release, is finally out!
No one
remembers Charlie’s name. He falls through holes in time. And a clockwork man
is trying to kill him. But there’s an eighteenth century Scottish girl who can
bring him back home – assuming they don’t destroy history by accidentally
letting Ben Franklin get killed.
Andy’s previous novel, dark fantasy The
Darkening Dream, has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
Publisher’s Weekly called it “gorgeously creepy, strangely humorous, and sincerely terrifying.” Untimed
is an even more ambitious follow-up. It is a lavish production with a
cover by acclaimed fantasy artist Cliff Nielsen and twenty-one full page
interior illustrations by Dave Phillips.
About Untimed
Charlie’s the kind of boy that
no one notices. Hell, even his own mother can’t remember his name. And girls?
The invisible man gets more dates.
As if that weren’t enough, when
a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and
they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of
time don’t take him seriously.
Still, this isn’t all bad. In
fact, there’s this girl, another time traveler, who not only remembers his
name, but might even like him! Unfortunately, Yvaine carries more than her
share of baggage: like a baby boy and at least two ex-boyfriends! One’s famous,
the other’s murderous, and Charlie doesn’t know who is the bigger problem.
When one kills the other — and
the other is nineteen year-old Ben Franklin — things get really crazy. Can
their relationship survive? Can the future? Charlie and Yvaine are time
travelers, they can fix this — theoretically — but the rules are complicated
and the stakes are history as we know it.
And there's one more wrinkle: he
can only travel into the past, and she can only travel into the future!
