A small town with a big problem.

Caesar, an undercover operative, enters Carmichael with the briefest of orders from his boss and a countdown on his phone. What will happen when the clock strikes zero?

Deputy Amelia Miller is dispatched from a nearby city, and a series of events keeps her around much longer than she'd expected.

In the middle of the night, something shifts, and the whole town disappears off the face of the Earth. Who caused the shift, and what lies beyond the veil of their settlement? As the citizens grow braver, they begin to explore the mysterious borders while resisting the chaos within.

No ending

I absolutely detest books that continue into another book. There was no conclusion to this story. The story was not unique or good enough for me to invest any more time or money in this series.

Yet! Loved it!

You have book 2. You must. You said nothing about it specifically after the book finished. I would read it! Yahoo!!!!!

Hero , is regular guy

Caesar is a normal person, who I’s dedicated to doing what is right regardless. Good guy.

It’s okay

Not much to keep you interested but it is definitely a different sci-fi scenario. Won’t be buying any more books from this series as you can predict how it ends.

Looks like the beginning of another successful series!

one of my favorite writers, although a bit sacrilegious. This story has mystery, interesting characters and a new spin on a familiar premise. Good science fiction and suspense and action.

the loss 0f pkace and time

the movement and the discovery held my interest . not knowing why they ended up in other place and not being able find a way out and wanting to be into there 'real' place and timline. The clock was a sourve of hope, is it real?

For me… wasted credit.

Very slow. I couldn’t finish it. Too many characters. Wasn’t interesting enough to keep my attention. I tried.

Good story and solid character development

I personally love world jumping books like Island in the Sea of Time and 1632. This one is a parallel worlds story, which is just as fun, and it takes a whole town and all its dirty laundry and personal dysfunction. It’s well worth your time. Oh, I had one issue. The main beasty was too populous to be sustainable, so be prepared to wave your hands in suspension of disbelief.

Why do they always cut these stories into 3?

Lots of excitement and twists and turns. Very enjoyable. BUT obviously leading to a sequel.

Not good. Not bad.

An ok story. The story keeps jumping from character to character at the beginning. It feels like there are too many characters at the start of the story, so it’s a bit difficult to keep the characters straight. The story was hard to get into due to the jumps, it felt like another pulp fiction story. I have read a couple other books with a similar premise and I enjoyed those more.

The narrator has two older women that sound like they have been drinking whiskey and smoking cigarettes since birth. Otherwise he did a decent job.
