Nemesis and the Vault of Lost Time

Thirteen-year-old Max is a daydreamer. It gets him into trouble at school, but his daydreaming really turns problematic when he runs into a mysterious professor at his uncle’s bookstore. The old man informs Max that time is being siphoned out of the planet by invisible bandits, stolen from people one breath and one sneeze at a time, and is being stored in a central vault. Once full, the vault will fuel a hungry horde of invaders looking to cross into earth, in order to cross out all the people. What’s more, the professor claims he knew Max’s missing father.

With the help of his best friends, Derek and Samantha, Max must harness his compulsive curiosity and find passage to this place called Nemesis to stop the sticky-fingered time thieves and halt their planned invasion.

But when the professor goes missing and the clock begins ticking, he might just find far more than he imagined.
