Stanley’s greatest
accomplishment in life is wasting an entire summer doing nothing.
It’s odd then that after his thirteenth birthday he’s been chosen
to be the next time-traveling secret agent for the Alter Struggle, a
clandestine group that travels back and forth through time to prevent
Earth’s deadliest disasters. It may sound cool, but there’s one
problem: After saving the world thousands of times, all their other
agents are dead or MIA. Stanley is not just their next agent—he’s
their only agent.
Armed with an
overactive imagination and a couple of witty remarks, Stanley must
protect a scientist on the verge of completing research vital to the
survival of the planet. However, he soon discovers that the hero
business is not all it’s cracked up to be. The pay? Lousy. The
thanks? Nonexistent. The girls? Well, there’s Karen, his crush from
school, but she seems to want nothing more than to put a bullet
through his head. She’s not playing around either, what with her
being an elite teenage assassin and all.
Now it’s all up to
the kid who can’t get straight A’s and always gets picked last in
gym class to defeat the shadow government in control of the world.
And he’s only got one week before everything goes to hell. Lucky
him.
