Synopsis

The Starship Enterprise™ is summoned to transport a dangerous criminal to rehabilitation: the brilliant physicist, Dr. Georges Mordreaux, who is accused of promising to send people back in time, then killing them instead. But when a crazed Mordreaux escapes, he inexplicably bursts onto the bridge and murders Captain Kirk before the crew’s eyes.

Now Spock must journey back in time to avert the disaster “before” it occurs. But more is at stake than Kirk’s life. Mordreaux’s experiments have thrown the universe into chaos, and Spock is fighting time itself to keep the very fabric of reality from unraveling.

What would you do if you could go back in time and change your life? Which regrets and mistakes would you fix? What would your life look like now?

In Future Proof an experimental medical treatment goes wrong which allows Sam Harris to do exactly that. He starts by standing up to the kids who bullied him at school and then sets about trying to fix the mess he made of the rest of his life. However, as he discovers, changing his past doesn’t always guarantee a brighter future.

Buckle up for a bumpy fun filled ride of what if’s and second chances. Winner of the Page Turner Awards 2022 Genre Award, Future Proof is a romantic comedy/drama filled with love, tears and laughter with an accompanying original musical soundtrack.

Future Proof the book is accompanied by Future Proof the album and will be readily available on all the usual streaming platforms, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. from January 16th 2023. Each song has been specifically written to correspond to a key point in the book and I hope it will enhance the overall reading experience.

Found

★ 3.98

Margaret Peterson Haddix

Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he's never thought it was any big deal. Then he and a new friend, Chip, who's also adopted, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you."

Jonah, Chip, and Jonah's sister, Katherine, are plunged into a mystery that involves the FBI, a vast smuggling operation, an airplane that appeared out of nowhere - and people who seem to appear and disappear at will. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives.

Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying?

With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as Among the Hidden, and proves her, once again, to be a master of the page-turner.
