A B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

Top Shelf Magazine's 2021 First Place Winner for "Young Adult Sci-Fi"*

In this sequel to Beyond the Bowling Ball Bombing and No Time to Waste, Terrance finds Stanley back in control. However, thanks to the help of a time-traveling version of himself from the future/past, he now has three aces up his sleeve. Unfortunately, two of these aces are quickly squandered before Stanley convinces him to perform one final favor.

From a trip to the Great Pyramid in ancient Egypt with disastrous results on world history, to a futuristic castle-shaped house in a remote region of Colorado, Stanley continues to alter the course of Terrance’s life.

Terrance soon discovers the malevolent truth behind Stanley’s request, and finds himself entombed in a luxury dungeon that he will never leave—or does he? His time-traveling mistakes might finally come to his aid. It will be the greatest fight of his life, but if he succeeds, he just might be able to rescue himself and fix far more than expected.

*The all-in-one hardcover won IndieReader's 2022 Discovery Award for Science Fiction and was Top Shelf Magazine's 2021 First Place Winner for "Young Adult Sci-Fi." That story is also available in paperback and eBook as a trilogy, of which this is book #3 (of 3).

Kordel Lentine was the kind of high school freshman who once wrote a how-to paper about how to write a how-to paper. No kidding. It was the most boring paper ever written. Even worse, when the teacher offered bonus points for students to read their papers in front of the class, he volunteered, as though his A+ in the class needed a boost. As far as horrible public readings go, it was not quite on par with Vogon poetry (since no one had to gnaw a leg off in order to survive), but it was nonetheless quite dismal, both for him and for everyone else in the room who happened to have ears. Kordel still bemoans that he simply could not think of anything more interesting to write about that fit the assigned criteria. It was the first time that he shared something he wrote, but thankfully not the last. Now that Kordel gets to choose his own topics, he likes to write science fiction novels with time travel and digital dinosaurs and no sign of how-to papers as far as the mind can see. Kordel was born and raised in South Bend, IN where screaming at the top of your lungs at the TV during Notre Dame football games was a regular family event. He now lives in Kansas City and has five awesome children. Four of his children have flown the coop while Kordel's brilliant wife still homeschools the remaining two. (No, that wasn't a typo or bad math-sorry unnamed not-awesome child!). Kordel is a CPA, his best time solving the Rubik's Cube is 47 seconds, he has a black belt in Taekwondo, and he enjoys activities that can be shared with his family such as scuba diving, board games, riddles, digital scrapbooking, and amateur astronomy.
