Untimed is an action-packed time travel novel by Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter.
Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, even his own mother can’t remember his name. And girls? The invisible man gets more dates.
As if that weren’t enough, when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him seriously.
Still, this isn’t all bad. In fact, there’s this girl, another time traveler, who not only remembers his name, but might even like him! Unfortunately, Yvaine carries more than her share of baggage: like a baby boy and at least two ex-boyfriends! One’s famous, the other’s murderous, and Charlie doesn’t know who the bigger problem is.
When one kills the other — and the other is nineteen year-old Ben Franklin — things get really crazy. Can their relationship survive? Can the future? Charlie and Yvaine are time travelers, they can fix this — theoretically — but the rules are complicated and the stakes are history as we know it.
And there's one more wrinkle: he can only travel into the past, and she can only travel into the future!
A lavish production with a cover by acclaimed fantasy artist Cliff Nielsen and twenty one full page interior illustrations by Dave Phillips.

Baookalicious Babes thoughts of Untimed -
ReplyDeleteI received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. This book is listed YA overall it is some language could have
been left out and still maintained a excellent storyline. What would you do if people didn't remember you? Even your very own mother?
Wouldn't you like to travel in time? Charlie finally finds someone who can actually remember him but with that comes real dramatic
suspense. This is a very fast and hopping story that keeps you engaged. Nice seeing some illustrations included with the story to
give you a visual of what he sees. If you like action, suspense, and drama then this is your book. I really want to see more in this
series.
