TEMPEST
By: Cross, Julie
The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer
is a normal guy... he's in college, has a girlfriend... and he can travel back
through time. But it's not like the movies - nothing changes in the present
after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux
capacitors - it's just harmless fun. That is... until the day strangers burst in
on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly
is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is
not like his previous time jumps. Now he's stuck in 2007 and can't get back to
the future. Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to
return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can
about his abilities. Soon, he discovers that his father works for a shadowy
division of the CIA and knows more about Jackson's time-traveling abilities than
should be possible. Jackson also befriends the 2007 Holly, protects her, and
falls in love with her all over again. But it's not long before the people who
shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these "Enemies of
Time" will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler.
Recruit... or kill him. Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies
of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he's willing to go to save
Holly... and possibly the entire world. The first in an epic trilogy, TEMPEST
heralds a powerful new voice in young adult literature. Film rights were
pre-empted by Summit Entertainment (TWILIGHT) and foreign language rights have
already sold in a dozen countries. TitleWave
