Nick Brynner goes to Fort Whitman, an abandoned fort on a Goat Island in Puget Sound. The area is restricted and anyone that has attempted to gain access was never seen again. As he searches the fort, he finds a tunnel with a glow at the end. At the end tunnel and sees a locked gate. It was easy for him to open since the key was hanging next to the lock. Next thing he knows he is back in the sunshine. Everything looks wrong. There are no people and animals are running wild. A teenage girl, Ellie, grabs him and pulls him away. He introduces him to an angel named Gabe. He is not really an angel. It is just the form he presents. He is really from the Xu race of beings. They are given in assignment. Find Adam and Eve. Everything is up to them. If they find them unworthy, the world we be reset, and another species will be in charge.
The book is fast paced, the characters are not really developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view. I like the resourcefulness that Nick shows while in ancient Africa. Ellie discusses how evolution created greed and technology that we have today. Together they have to work together and make decisions that will affect all beings. This is an exciting young adult adventure book.
