In Book 1, the formerly 3-tiered world of Atherton began to sink and finally became flat. In Book 2, the process of inversion has begun. The Highlands, the center of Atherton, is sinking; Samuel and Isabel are trying to sneak into The House of Power to restore water to the world of Atherton; and Dr. Kincaid, Vincent and Edgar make their way towards the edge of the Highlands, intent on entering the secret underground refuge of Mead's Hollow and finding the key to unlocking Dr. Harding's brain.
They must discover the solution to overcoming the threat of the deadly Cleaners, creatures now unleashed on the flattened land, before it's too late. But Mead's Hollow holds more secrets than any of them had ever imagined.
In this tremendously satisfying conclusion to the story of the transformation of the world of Atherton, readers will experience a world turned inside out and a spectacular flood (reminiscent of Noah's flood of the past to the global warming of the future); former enemies forced to work together in the name of survival; surprising histories concerning the creator of Atherton, Dr. Harding, and his partner Dr. Kincaid, and a shocking revelation about Edgar's own past. Best of all, the trip to Mead's Hollow leads to a dangerous—and extraordinary—expedition through the interior of Atherton that will titillate imaginations for a long time to come. With themes evocative of Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno, expect Book 2 to give readers plenty to sink their teeth into.
