It's an average day in an average suburb. In an alternate universe.
Claude thinks his biggest problem is trying to impress his new boyfriend when a much bigger problem comes along: his father vanishes, leaving clues that he invented a time machine. In search of answers, Claude and his friend Carolien must stay a step ahead of a powerful corporation and confront one of the darkest episodes in history. But they are running out of time. The first book in the two-part Khronos Chronicles series, The Alternate Universe features diverse characters-Claude is gay, Carolien is African-American-and takes readers on a high stakes adventure where two friends risk everything to save their families-and the world.
