FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE – BOOK TWO

 

Carter Owens knows his kidnapped sister is out there. He thinks he knows where she is, and he’s desperate to rescue her.

 The trouble is nobody believes him. He’s tried telling his family and even the police what he knows, but only his close friends Alex, Vic, and Ellery don’t think he’s totally nuts. Or at least he hopes they don’t.

He travels through time and space, experiencing firsthand the shocking truth linking other mysterious disappearances from the past - Amelia Earhart, the Lost Colony at Roanoke, and the Ghost Ship Mary Celeste.

 

Will he locate his sister before time runs out? 

Or will something terrible happen before he finds her?
