His time machine-a rusty orange Volkswagen he calls Timebender-is a photon-powered vehicle that leaps across the centuries with ease. Climb aboard with Max and his companions-Allie O'Dell, Grady Stubblefield, and Toby Brubaker-as they face dinosaurs, alien Emissaries, and mankind's most ancient and terrifying Enemy, the Silver Dragon.Author JIM DENNEY has written more than a hundred books, but the Timebenders series is his favorite.
