This is a tour de force of stunning, highly imaginative artwork offering the reader a new world from the ground up, of planes and ships and robots and sea monsters; every page is captivating and draws you further into the story.\n\nThe world did not end. At least not permanently. The Time Collision came from beyond the stars, a cosmic event that fractured time and space, tearing apart the Earth and reshaping it into something entirely new.\n\nIn New Chicago, Diego Ribera’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.\n\nThere 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.\n\nFirst Gurney's \u003cem\u003eDinotopia\u003c\/em\u003e, then Vess \u0026amp; De Lint's \u003cem\u003eSeven Wild Sisters \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eCats of Tanglewood Forest \u003c\/em\u003eYA novels, most recently Manchess' \u003cem\u003eAbove the Timberline\u003c\/em\u003e--here is another absolutely wonderful illustrated novel by a leading fantasy artist.\n\nBaltazar has a long, long list of credits, including animation film work for Dreamworks and Walt Disney Animation.
