"The book begins with Christopher Snow and his friends investigating the disappearance of some children. What they discover is an unexplainable spiderweb of mystery and intrigue. They find the criminals that kidnapped the children along with a dimension/time travel machine that causes nothing but misery. This story can be quite confusing if not followed closely."

"Christopher Snow is on a manhunt. A child has been kidnapped and taken to a nearby abandoned military research facility. Snow's own mother used to be the top researcher there. Intriqed, he works with friends to save the child and in the process learns more about his deceased mother. His search for the child is inhibited by a rare condition that prevents him from traveling in the sunlight causing all secret plotting to be done in the dark of night. Other strange events unravel and pose a danger to Snow and his friends as crazed mutant animals hunt the hunters of the kidnapper yet they push them closer to the core of it all. A time machine."
