Rating: 5 out of 5

"Fourteen and three people who could save the world" parts of the riddle that few people throughout different points of the future have seen and yet do not understand is it truth or a myth as the chosen ones must find out. Somehow the human race has died out replaced by aliens but why the question remains unanswered. It seems solving the riddle, besides those chosen, has fallen directly upon teenagers Kenneth Yardrow and Savannah Proehl who were kidnapped from school and taken into the future to solve the mystery. Maybe pictures upon a wall that an alien character Nolan has discovered might be an indication or a wakeup call to those of us in the here and now, "If the various pictures on the wall were any judge, the human race had been a self-centered species."Winters has written an exceptional science-fiction tale that seems to have it all from kidnapping, time-travel, futuristic events, mystery, riddles and maybe even romance. A unique novel that reads more like a history book than a sci-fi tale that draws the reader in from page one wanting to know the answer to the "riddle".  For anyone who may remember the writing seems reminiscent of an outstanding novel from the 1970's "Yargo" by Jacqueline Susann making for an exceptional read. With amazing word descriptions and excellent characters the author leaves nothing to the imagination as all is laid out in book 1 of the "Children of Two Futures" series leaving the reader desiring more and to continue onto the next book in order to discover what is behind the "riddle" of the human race.
