Summary:
Meet Michael Harlan of Carson, Arizona. Your average high-school senior, with your average high-school senior's interests: cars, rock'n'roll, and girls. He's doing just enough schoolwork so that he can graduate and start working full-time. And for his upcoming science project, Michael figures he'll raid the old Army junkyard outside town and find something to fix up. But the something he finds is quite a bit different than the usual Army surplus. You see, Michael's science project doesn't come from this world, or this time--and once he turns it in, a lot of incredible things begin to happen around Kit Carson High School. Sudden thunderstorms. Massive power failures. Disappearing science teachers. And by the time Michael discovers what his science project really is, it may be too late for him to put those things right again. Too late not only for Carson, Arizona, but, quite possibly, for the entire world.
