From Under the Sun Series

Winner of IndieReader's 2022 Discover Award for Science Fiction* A B.R.A.G.Medallion Honoree Top Shelf Magazine's 2021 First Place Winner for "Young Adult Sci-Fi"*   Terrance is a bullied high schooler who frequently takes the long way home to avoid trouble. It is a plan that usually works-until the day that the bowling ball falls from the sky. He barely escapes the ensuing devastation that turns a sleepy suburban neighborhood into a disaster zone. In the media frenzy that follows, the incident is dubbed "the bowling ball bombing" and overnight Terrance becomes an unlikely national figure and high school celebrity.    Experts are baffled by the incident while crackpots suggest theories that range from alien tractor beam malfunctions to government conspiracies. Most reasonable people, including Terrance, conclude that the world will never solve this mystery. Then Terrance receives an unusual puzzle box with an inscription that claims that he will learn the secret when he opens the box exactly five months after the bombing at 7:57 pm. He assumes that it is a joke until the prediction comes true.    He soon finds himself in the hands of a benefactor who claims that Terrance had unwittingly inspired the creation of time travel. As an alleged favor, Terrance is sent 98 years into the future where he discovers evidence suggesting that his benefactor has sinister intentions. While fleeing through time and space, Terrance tries to take control of his destiny, only to find himself in an epic battle for his freedom.   *The all-in-one hardcover won IndieReader's 2022 Discovery Award for science fiction and was Top Shelf Magazine's 2021 first place winner for "Young Adult Sci-Fi."

With Blaire's help, he uses futuristic technology to become well-known in school as the host of Football Field Games, the most popular collection of virtual reality games in history.    Unfortunately, it is a charmed life that plays out under a dark shadow. Terrance and Blaire realize that the only way to prevent Stanley from returning to take control of their lives is to locate his hidden lab. That is a task that is easier said than done, and time is running out. Terrance accidentally left evidence in Stanley's bedroom that makes him the prime suspect in Stanley's unexplained disappearance, and authorities, who are interested in more than just Stanley, are closing in.    However, Terrance is hatching a plan that could negate Stanley's disappearance and make himself grow up rich and popular. If he can locate Stanley's lab, it just might solve all his problems.    Or it might be the biggest mistake of his life.   *The all-in-one hardcover won IndieReader's 2022 Discovery Award for science fiction and was Top Shelf Magazine's 2021 first place winner for "Young Adult Sci-Fi."
