About the Book

Alfred Kennison was a normal American teenager; that is until the day he found out that he had the ability to travel into the near future and change what happens in his life. He could do whatever he wanted, but at what price? Before he can learn this price, he meets the man responsible for his powers--Harold Snivellin. On his way to confront this villain, Alfred sees a stranger in the hallway at school; instead of Snivellin, he is astonished as he faces himself. Little did he know that this meeting would change his life forever. Before Alfred knows it, he is whisked away to the future where he works for Snivellin. In this future, Alfred sees corruption, death, destruction, envy, greed, and hate. What ensues is a fight to control the past and the future. Will Snivellin succeed and control the world? Or can Alfred bring down Snivellin’s tyranny and save the past and present in the future?
