This story begins in the present day in which we are exposed to the internal thoughts of a school teacher, Carol Wren. She is upset at the disappearance of two students from her school, who have been kidnapped and whisked away right under her nose by someone in a space suit. There is not a single trace of these two children left behind.  Carol is worried that she, along with other teachers, will be subjected to psychiatric evaluation as the method of kidnapping is truly unbelievable. After all, someone in a space suit kidnapped the children!After Carol's musings about psychological evaluations, the story immediately launches into the future. For the remainder of this story, the author takes us on a journey into several different future years, some in the 70th century or after, and some as far distant as a billion years. We are introduced to many different characters, all with very unique names. The author does a wonderful job of developing each character that is presented in the storyline.  As the story progresses, the true objective of these various future timelines begin to converge into a single theme: the destruction of the human race, and how to prevent that destruction from occurring.The author does a thorough job of weaving several characters, time travelers and future timelines together throughout this story. Amazingly enough, the story comes full circle towards the end, when we finally discover that two of the characters in the future are actually the two children who were kidnapped right from under the nose of Carol Wren in the present timeframe! When the story ends, we are left with the hint of a promise: that there may be a romantic link between these two teens.If you like science fiction, you will love the sub-stories that are intertwined between various future years within this book, and the accompanying time travel that takes place throughout. The author leaves nothing to the imagination, as every nuance of each future time period is explained in vivid detail, giving the reader a mental visualization of each scene. This book was a very fast read for me, and I was not able to put it down! I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
