Book Description
'The Pocket and the Pendant' weaves together a 'delightfully odd' blend of ancient Sumerian artifacts and legends, UFO's, a curious rogue planet in our own solar system, 'magic' Books which operate through consciousness and quantum mechanical principles, and a bizarre sub-time called 'The Pocket'.
Focusing on a boy named Max Quick, who may be far older than he seems and not quite human, the story begins with Time mysteriously stopping during an eclipse - except for Max and several other children. As they resolve to discover how and why this has occurred, the novel follows their twisting and turning adventures across the landscape of a time-frozen United States. Strange UFO-like objects now riddle the skies; they discover odd Books which exhibit quantum mechanical reality-bending properties. When they finally discover the answer to the riddle of how why the Pocket has occurred, they find that their own true identities may not be what they thought they were, and they must answer an ancient blood-feud going back to the beginning of time.
From the back cover: Max Quick was a very strange little boy indeed... But even he didn't suspect how strange -- until Time itself stops the world over. Now, he must unravel an ancient mystery drenched in magic Books, the lost Sumerian civilization, a curious rogue planet in our own solar system, and a bizarre, slushy nether-time called 'the Pocket'. Racing desperately now against a clock that can no longer tick, Max struggles to recover a potent artifact known only as the Pendant. Yet, the closer he and his companions come to recovering it, the more they realize that their own true identities may yet sweep them into the machinations of the very adversaries they fight against...
