''Outside my window the police are chasing a Triceratops that has strayed onto our street.

There''s no way around it. The world isn''t what it was when I woke up yestereday - and it''s all my fault.'' - So begins the tale of 12 and ┬╛ year old Chelsea McAllister in this science-fiction adventure that not only shows how important it is to pay attention in Science class, but also why it is never a good idea to press random buttons in a time machine.

In the year 2035 humanity is rescued from a lethal solar flare by seven mysterious beings and transported across the universe to the uninhabited planet of Ansar. Earth''s major cities are recreated, and a stunned but thankful humanity mostly carries on with life and society. But is everything as it appears? Just who are the semi-omniscient beings who rescued them? What do they really want? And to what secret place do they retreat every night? With that appearance of the seven, all the old divisions concerning gender, privilege, and power re-emerge in unexpected and increasingly dangerous ways. Conspiracy theories abound. Among those searching for answers are Joy, a gay commercial artist, and her friend, Leo, a widowed theology professor and Vatican consultant. In the end, the truth may prove more costly than either imagined.
