The Year 2340 was pretty nice - by 2346 not so much! With saboteurs running amok on a distant space station, Project Hourglass reaches back across history to summon a team of gritty, young problem solvers. Like 14 year-old Artie Conan Doyle, from 1879, well before he'll get around to writing Sherlock Holmes. Irene Kennealy gets the call in 2025, while working on her science fair project. Twins Siondra and Tony Pantala get yanked from 2029, along with--quite by accident—a trio of teenage roughnecks and a spunky beagle pup named Tuffy. What a team. The game's afoot! Rumors claim the saboteurs are aliens trying to trigger war with humanity. But there are humans with motives, too. And who is kidnapping members of the team? Can youths from across time – including Tuffy -- help keep the newborn alliance of interstellar friendship alive
