    About this ebook

    In Timelock, the thrilling finale to the Caretaker Trilogy, the end of life as we know it has arrived, and history will be made -- or lost -- at the hands of one young hero.

    Jack Danielson has spent the last year saving the oceans and the Amazon, attempting to fulfill a prophecy that was written before his birth. Now he's more than ready to get back to life as a typical teenager and spend some quality time with his girlfriend, P.J. Too bad the world has other plans.

    Wrenched away once more from those he knows and loves, Jack is thrust through time to the fiery deserts of the future and the frozen tundra of the Arctic, battling cyborgs, zombie warlocks, and scorpions the size of tanks. At least he has Gisco -- everyone's favorite surly telepathic canine -- to keep him company, not to mention the Ninja Babe, Eko. And he will finally be reunited with the parents who abandoned him so long ago, in order that he might save their dying planet.

    But it isn't only a race to save Earth. As the clock ticks down before the final confrontation with the dreaded Dark Lord, Jack must decide once and for all who he really is -- prince of the future or humble human of the present -- and choose between the two women who love him.

    Author

    David Klass

    David Klass is the author of many young adult novels, including You Don't Know Me, Losers Take All, and Grandmaster. He is also a Hollywood screenwriter, having written more than twenty-five action screenplays, including Kiss the Girls, starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, Walking Tall, starring The Rock, and Desperate Measures, starring Michael Keaton and Andy Garcia. Klass grew up in a family that loved literature and theater-his parents were both college professors and writers-but he was a reluctant reader, preferring sports to books. But he started loving the adventure stories his parents would bring home from the library-particularly Jack London, Robert Louis Stevenson and Alexandre Dumas. After his sister twice won a story contest in Seventeen magazine, Klass decided he would win it too, and when he was a senior in high school, he did, publishing his first story, "Ringtoss," in the magazine. He studied at Yale University, where he won the Veech Award for Best Imaginative Writing. He taught English in Japan, and wrote his first novel, The Atami Dragons, about that experience. He now lives in New York with his wife and two children.

      The first title in the Caretaker Trilogy. Seventeen-year-old Jack lives a relatively normal life with his parents. He has exceptional abilities both in sports and academically but his parents encourage him not to try too hard but instead blend in as much as possible. Jack resents this as he has never had to try hard to excel and dislikes hiding his abilities and letting others win. One night after he performs exceptionally well during a football match which appears on the news, he notices a strange man following him. He tells his parents and immediately his world changes. His Dad piles him into their car and starts driving, telling him that they are not his real parents and their enemies have found them. They are ambushed and his father killed. Jack must run for his life and during so try to find out what is going on and who he can trust.This fast paced science fiction survival story has a strong environmental theme. The future world has suffered from terrible ecological disasters and the earth is dying. Jack has been sent back in time in order to try and save the planet. It is a very sobering and well written story. Highly recommended.

      so i was bored. at first it was kinda cool and interesting then i was bored. the pacing and rhythm with the incomplete sentences started to get on my nerves. the only redeeming quality was the character gisco, a telepathic dog from the future. i read the entire book without skipping. the rest of the trilogy i skimmed just to see what happened. these save the planet books are normally not so awful but these... a big disappointment

      Have you ever thought that one day you would come home and you would find out that you’re not normal? Well neither did Jack. Jack had the best life he was outstanding in every category. Until he came home from his big game and he stands out, stands out a little too much. He is from the future sent back in time to save the world. He faces many obstacles and conquers them. Along his conquest Jack meets a pup, a very large pup. Together they run from the wicked people who are trying to prevent him from saving the world. So now he is on a ship right about to be killed. He never considered in a million years that this would ever happen. I really enjoyed this book and am attempting to read the next novel in the series by David Klass. This book is really interesting. It was suggested to me by a friend and I was so happy to actually find a good read at our library. There are two other books in the series as well. I gave this book four stars because it was really good. There are a lot of details which made the story a lot more intense. I highly suggest this book to anyone.

      When his life starts to fall apart, Jack Danielson starts to realize his life is not what it seemed. He is, in fact, from 1000 years in the future and sent back to contemporary America because of a prophecy that he is the "beacon of hope", the person who will be able to find the mysterious firestorm and save the earth from the destruction that humans will do to the environment before reaching the point of no return. There is lots of action and many twists and turns. Along with Gisco, a dog from the future, and Echo, the high priestess of Dan, Jack Danielson tries his best to save the world. The writing style included lots of sentence fragments, which annoyed me at times. At times things got a bit preachy about the destruction of the environment. But all in all, I enjoyed the book and liked it enough to think about picking up book two.
    • 5/5
      You wouldn't think that winning a game would be a life-altering event, but Jack's life comes crashing down after he wins his high school football game and is featured on the local news. He notices a man staring at him in a restaurant, and then flashing his eyes at him in a very science fictionish kind of way. Suddenly he is being hunted by strange creatures, who kill his parents just after his dad reveals that they aren't really his parents, and saves his life. After nearly being killed again in New York, he takes up with a large, telepathic dog, Gisco, and flees down the Eastern Seaboard, pursued all the way and never knowing whom to trust. He meets a ninja girl, Eko, who teaches him how to fight. Gradually he discovers that he is from 1000 years in the future, when the earth is an ecological wasteland; that the Turning Point, beyond which the disaster can't be stopped, is coming up; and that he has been sent back according to a prophecy to find something called Firestorm, which can stop the coming catastrophe. If only he knew what it is, or where. Although other readers have criticized the heavy handed environmental message in the book and the extreme overuse of sentence fragments, I think reluctant readers will LOVE this book. I'll definitely buy book two just to see what happens with Cisco and Eko.

      A 16-year old athlete meets a telepathic dog, gets trained by a ninja babe and finds out that he is actually the son of future prophets in this poorly written mishmash of science fiction, thriller and environmental themes. Book One of the Caretaker Trilogy.Jack Danielson's parents have always encouraged him to be average, to blend in, not to try to hard or do to much. This doesn't make much sense until Jack breaks the rushing record at his school, attracts the attention of strange dark clad killers, and winds up parentless, homeless and adrift in NYC. After being captured by a shape-shifting bounty hunter, Jack meets up with Gisco, a telepathic dog who seems to know about the people hunting Jack, and who leads him to Eco, a sultry "Ninja Babe" who trains Jack. Why she is training Jack remains fuzzy, but as it is ultimately revealed that he has been sent from the environmentally ravaged future to find a mystical weapon known as Firestorm, one hopes it will come in handy later. Somehow or another, Jack winds up on a fishing trawler, and ultimately in the hands of his enemies, who seek to stop him from stopping the destruction of the planet. Or something like that, it honestly never made much sense to me.This book is what you might get if Al Gore, Philip K. Dick and a 14 year old kid who's read too much Shonen manga had an intellectual love child. Its badly written with short, choppy sentences, an incomprehensible plot, gadgetry for the sake of gadgetry, and sex scenes shoehorned in for good measure. In a shorter form, this book might appeal to teenage boys, but at 289 pages, only the most dedicated readers will stick with it. The first in a planned trilogy, the lack of a satisfying, or even understandable, conclusion is simply the nail in the coffin.
    • 5/5
      One of the best novels I've ever read. It had action, adventure, humour, drama, and a little bit of romance and it was all eco-friendly! I felt the first person perspective made it more enjoyable than it would've been from another POV--Klass is quite talented at getting inside the teenage mind. I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in this trilogy.
