National Book Award winner Pete Hautman weaves several diverging time
streams into one satisfying masterwork in this stunning and revelatory
series finale.
In a far distant future, Tucker Feye and the inscrutable Lia find
themselves atop a crumbling pyramid in an abandoned city. In present-day
Hopewell, Tucker's uncle Kosh faces armed resistance and painful
memories as he attempts to help a terrorized woman named Emma, who is
being held captive by a violent man. And on a train platform in 1997, a
seventeen-year-old Kosh is given an instruction that will change his
life, and the lives of others, forever. Tucker, Lia, and Kosh must evade
the pursuit of maggot-like Timesweeps, battle Master Gheen's cult of
Lambs, all while they puzzle out the enigmatic Boggsians as they search
for one another and the secrets of the diskos. Who built them? Who is
destroying them? Where -- and when -- will it all end?
