In the pulse-pounding second installment of The Fallbrook Chronicles, sixteen-year-old Zoe Bailey is thrust deeper into a storm of time travel chaos, ancient alien conspiracies, and family secrets that could unravel reality itself. Armed with the enigmatic orb known as Swirly and her family's unbreakable bond, Zoe races to rescue the scattered soldiers of Operation Chrono—men lost across centuries after a botched military experiment. But her mission is bigger than lost soldiers: alongside the Anunnaki god Enki, she's pulled into a cosmic war against his ruthless brother, Enlil.
What began as strange glitches in her mother's Pokemon Go app explodes into a portal-driven sci-fi quest. With Enki's cryptic guidance, Zoe and her family uncover Fallbrook's hidden nexus points: underground tunnels, secret military bases, observatories, and temporal storms bleeding across time. From beneath Mount Shasta to a clandestine lunar base and even the shadowy depths of Denver International Airport, they leap through eras, forging alliances with soldiers like Sergeant Randy "Buddyro" Briggs and the enigmatic Moose—all while dodging Colonel O'Reilly's forces and Enlil's looming Convergence, a cataclysm that threatens to collapse every timeline into one nightmare under alien control.
But as Zoe's mind fuses with fragments of her future self, she unearths a terrifying truth: the Fallbrook Five—children once experimented on by the Anunnaki—are living keys to stopping the Convergence. Sacrifices mount. Allies vanish. And a darker version of herself whispers temptations from the shadows. To save her world, Zoe must master the impossible dance with time—or watch reality itself shatter.
Explosive, emotional, and endlessly inventive, Dancing with Time fuses sci-fi adventure, mythological intrigue, and YA crossover drama into a time-bending thriller for fans of portal-driven adventures, ancient alien conspiracies, and strong heroines who refuse to quit.
