For fans of Rick Riordan and Brian Selznick, author-artist Armand
Baltazar introduces Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic,
the first in a new science fiction/fantasy series that explores a world
painted new by the Time Collision. Integrating art and text, this epic
and cinematic adventure features more than 150 full-color
illustrations.
You've never seen Earth like this before: continents reshaped, oceans
re-formed, cities rebuilt, and mountains sculpted anew. Dinosaurs roam
the plains alongside herds of buffalo, and giant robots navigate the
same waters as steam-powered ships.
This is the world Diego Ribera was born into. The past, present, and
future coexisting together. In New Chicago, Diego's middle school
hallways buzz with kids from all eras of history and from cultures all
over the world. The pieces do not always fit together neatly, but this
is the world he loves.
There are those, however, who do not share his affection. On his
thirteenth birthday, Diego learns of a special gift he has within, a
secret that is part of something much bigger--something he cannot
understand. When his father, New Chicago's top engineer, is taken by the
Aeternum, Diego must rescue him and prevent this evil group from
disrupting the fragile peace humanity has forged.
