Get ready for a YA time travel adventure that will
have the hours flying by!
Untimed,author
Andy Gavin’s latest release, is finally out!
No one remembers Charlie’s name. He falls through holes in time. And a clockwork man is trying to kill him. But there’s an eighteenth century Scottish girl who can bring him back home – assuming they don’t destroy history by accidentally letting Ben Franklin get killed.
Andy’s previous novel, dark
fantasy The Darkening Dream, has been
well-received by fans and critics alike. Publisher’s Weekly called it “gorgeously
creepy, strangely humorous, and sincerely terrifying.” Untimed is an
even more ambitious follow-up. It is a lavish production with a cover by
acclaimed fantasy artist Cliff Nielsen and twenty-one full page interior
illustrations by Dave Phillips.

About Untimed...
Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell,
even his own mother can’t remember his name. And girls? The invisible man gets
more dates.
As if that weren’t enough, when a mysterious clockwork
man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a
hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him
seriously.
Still, this isn’t all bad. In fact, there’s this girl,
another time traveler, who not only remembers his name, but might even like
him! Unfortunately, Yvaine carries more than her share of baggage: like a baby
boy and at least two ex-boyfriends! One’s famous, the other’s murderous, and
Charlie doesn’t know who is the bigger problem.
When one kills the other — and the other is nineteen
year-old Ben Franklin — things get really crazy. Can their relationship
survive? Can the future? Charlie and Yvaine are time travelers, they can fix
this — theoretically — but the rules are complicated and the stakes are history
as we know it.
And there's one more wrinkle: he can only travel into
the past, and she can only travel into the future!

Untimed isn't usually the sort of book I'd go for, but the blurb is pretty intriguing so I might have to give it a go sometime!
