Having returned from a time-traveling trip already, David and Emily Polo are happy to be reunited with their family and getting back to a normal life, though the itch of knowing that there is more out in the world than others may realize still digs at them. One night, the couple shares a dream where God bestows a power shared between the two of them. A “Divine Watch” is given to David, and a magic spell that can activate said watch is taught to Emily. With this new power, the two of them can instantaneously teleport to any time and location in all of creation and can even change the size and shape of their bodies to suit their environment. Making the difficult choice to leave their family members behind for a while, they head off to explore another universe with strange planets, encountering dinosaurs, sea creatures, and various human civilizations.
Readers travel with the main characters on a limitless trip through time and space, following the protagonists on a journey of exploration and curiosity. Questions about whether or not intervention into natural order is warranted or to what degree humanity should pursue self-designed solutions toward perfection are asked in a very natural way that fits right into the story. The biggest draw here narratively has to be that each chapter offers a new world, new characters, and new perspectives, giving a classic adventure feel that gives the audience something fresh every so often and allowing both author and reader the freedom to go anywhere without limitation. Evoking classic science-fiction television while at the same time asking some deeper, more profound philosophical questions, this book is an unrestrained ride that goes where it likes and invites the audience to join it and let their imaginations go wild.
