THE LAST TIME KEY
Coming soon!
The Last Time Key by H.O. Ward
Do you reckon you've got the guts to survive the Aussie Outback? Picture this: your so-called mates aren't what they seem, and there are high-tech assassins on your tail, itching to make sure you never set foot back home.
Welcome to the future, where Australia's been flipped on its head by deforestation, brutal droughts, and too many people crammed into one city called Sentex. It's a place where everything, including babies, is cooked up in a lab. And guess who's running the show? A tyrannical clone dead set on keeping the status quo. They've been waiting three hundred years to bump off the Last Time Key, some kid who vanished in '62 and still hasn't popped back up. Apparently, he's the planet's only shot at stopping their power trip.
So, here's me, Timothy, sixteen years old and running away with my little sis. I'm just aiming for a simpler life, far away from our excuse for a mother. But then, I lose her in this ancient forest and bam! One wrong step, and I'm hurtling through some invisible portal, landing me three hundred years into the future. Turns out I'm this long-lost Time Key thing (whatever that means), and now, I'm being hunted by tech-savvy assassins for crimes I haven't even dreamt up yet.
Now, I've got a choice: do I ditch my loved ones to stick with my newfound mates, or do I haul my butt back to save my sister, even if it means giving up any shot at happiness? Either way, I gotta step up and become the hero this messed-up Earth desperately needs.
I am currently seeking representation for my latest book, “The Last Time Key.”
